Following a few days of sunshine last week, New York City’s weather took a turn for the worse Wednesday with pellets of hail raining down in parts of all five boroughs.

The National Weather Service predicted one to three inches of snowfall by the end of Wednesday night, and New York residents had their own unnerving experiences with the onslaught of springtime slush.

Weather conditions even caused the Federal Aviation Administration to announce flight delays at LaGuardia Airport, much to the chagrin of March travelers.

New York wasn’t the only place hit by hail, however. Parts of up-state New York, New Jersey and Connecticut were under a winter weather advisory from the National Weather Service, and residents of Iowa and Nebraska suffered from damaging hail Tuesday afternoon.

Wednesday’s ugly weather comes following the a harsh winter for the Northeast and a phenomenon known as “thundersnow.”
