Spring snow a surprise in Northeast by ROGER PETTERSON THE ASSOCIATED PRESS What a difference a day makes. Fat, wet snowflakes blew through wide ar eas of the Northeast on Sunday, putting an instant chill on what had started as a weekend of spring revelry. “Yesterday it was 70 degrees, and we were playing golf,” David Skoczy las of Terry ville, Conn., complained Sunday while visiting friends near Albany, N.Y. “I brought my golf shoes but I should have brought my boots.” A cold front plowing across the East spread snow across parts of New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and the New England states. Sunday morning temperatures were only in the 20s and low 30s. Eleven inches of snow had fallen by late morn ing at Summit, N.Y., about 40 miles west of Albany, with 7 1/2 inches at New Jersey’s High Point and nearly 7 inches in parts of Pennsylvania. Still, the storm was far from a record. While Albany had almost 9 inches by late morning, the most recorded there on April 9 is 17.7 inch es, in 1982, the National Weather Ser vice said. The same storm had piled as much as 13 inches of snow on southwest ern Minnesota on Friday, and it knocked out power to more than 40,000 cus tomers in Michigan on Saturday. Chad Moris and Stacy Aims, both 25, were bundled in warm jackets and gloves as they walked through down town Philadelphia on Sunday, remem bering that only the day before they had been bicycling in shorts and T-shirts in Fairmount Park. “We soaked our feet in the creek and everything,” said Moris, an intern architect in Philadelphia. Snowflakes fell as far as Washing ton, where little more than a tenth of an inch dusted the few blossoms re maining on the last day of the Cherry Blossom Festival. Because of a combination of falling trees and vehicles sliding into utility poles, more than 6,000 customers had no electricity Sunday afternoon in New Jersey, utilities reported. As many as 15,000 homes and busi nesses were blacked out in eastern New York. Pennsylvania utilities reported only minor, scattered outages. Sunday’s CART auto car race at Pennsylvania’s Nazareth Speedway had to be put off until May. “I thought maybe I should come with my snowmobile,” said racing great Mario Andretti, who lives in Nazareth.
