It may be spring, but winter hasn't taken its last shot at the Northeast.
Winter Storm Ursula began dumping a fresh blast of snow on the region Monday morning, hindering travel in some areas and impacting Opening Day of the 2016 Major League Baseball schedule. By the time the storm exits New England, as much as 8 inches of snow could fall.

Here's a closer look at how each state has been affected by Ursula.

New York

Heavy snow fell in parts of upstate New York Monday morning, and while most roads remained open, reports of traffic accidents were widespread, according to the state's Department of Transportation.
The New York Yankees announced Monday morning that their home opener against the Houston Astros, originally scheduled for 1 p.m. EDT Monday, has been postponed due to the storm. The game will instead be played on Tuesday afternoon.

Massachusetts

From the New York border to Hopkinton, the speed limit along the Massachusetts Turnpike was reduced to 40 mph, according to the Associated Press.
Schools were canceled in many Massachusetts school districts on Monday, the AP also reported. More than 30 flights were canceled Monday morning at Boston Logan International Airport, according to FlightAware.
