From the mid-Atlantic to the Northeast, the heavy snow not only knocked out power and rewrote daily records, but it also left many front yards and flower gardens looking woefully out of season. As one flower-loving Twitter user succinctly put it, "This is so much bull****."
The storm dropped as much as 18 inches of snow in some areas of the Northeast and marked the calendar's latest snow (1 inch or more) in nearly 30 years for other locations.
Even more remarkably, conditions were nearly summerlike just days earlier, as temperatures topped 80 degrees Fahrenheit less than a week earlier in places like Annapolis, Maryland. However, while many were busy planting their flowers and preparing their lawnmowers ahead of Easter weekend, Mother Nature had a different idea.
