Took me long enough to share this, but on May seventh, it SNOWED where we live. And I don’t just mean a light shower of snowflakes that melted as soon as they hit the ground; we had accumulating snow up here: 4.4 inches, apparently. It wasn’t the first time we’ve had snow up here in May, or even the most (though it is in the top three), but it was shocking nonetheless.
As if that’s not bizarre enough, this was the first year in recorded history in which our town hasn’t seen snowfall in March or April. It was shaping up to be a snow-free spring, and then this happened! :blink:
I have a photo to prove it:
This was taken on Saturday, May eighth, when the snow had already started to melt. (By the end of the day it seemed to be gone from everywhere in town except around our house.
) That was the firstóand so far the onlyóday in my life I’ve ever had a snowball fight in May.
By Sunday, May ninth, the snow was completely gone.
P.S. I think the newer
weather topic in the Party Room can probably be merged with this one.
