The set of fluke snow flurries in the New England area of the US was caused by the El Nino - southern oscillation, which occurs in the tropical region of the Pacific Ocean every five years or so. This oscillation causes an increase in ocean temperatures, creating a front of high-moisture air, which is then ejected by the subsequent high pressure zone. These premature snow falls in New England were caused when this air collided with cold northern air, creating a massive dump of snow.
