Why late spring snow weighs heavier on tree branches causing limbs to break
Some New Yorkers reported the sounds of branches snapping under an April snow after a late-season Nor'easter knocked out power to thousands.
Ice or snow can cause tree branches to fall under the added weight, but this late in the spring, additional factors increase those chances of breakages.

The latest: Late-season nor'easter bringing snow, rain to the Northeast
A strong late-season nor'easter is bringing significant impacts to parts of the interior Northeast, where up to a foot of snow has already piled up in many parts of the higher terrain.

Have you ever noticed it gets quieter after a snowstorm?
Maybe it's the lack of people driving on the snow-covered roads or the calm as you watch the snowflakes peacefully fall, but the silence after a snowstorm isn’t something that you’re imagining. Science shows that it is indeed quieter after a snowstorm. Click here to read more.

A nor’easter is a strong low-pressure system that impacts the East Coast of the United States, particularly the Northeast, but that’s not what makes it a nor’easter.
Most people associate thunder and lightning with thunderstorms, but you shouldn't be surprised if you hear a rumble or two coming from the sky during heavy snowfall.
FOX Weather meteorologist Marissa Lautenbacher says while thundersnow is a rare phenomenon, it can happen.
