JUST TO LET YOU KNOW...

   Just to let you know that in Red Deer Alberta we had snow today!!! Yes, it snowed for about two hours this morning. At one time there was about 2 cm on the ground. It's rained all day...just what we need. It's very dry here.

    There was much more snow in the Rocky Mountains. At higher elevations there was lots of snow.

  2. Well it snowed in Bryce Canyon, Utah, a week ago. But here where I'm visiting in Phoenix, it's 102 degrees. Go figure.

    1. It's not uncommon to get some snow in June.

  4. Oh wow! I thought I heard the meteorologist mention snow but I didn't catch where. I hope with the combination of snow and rain that it will add a little to your dry soil.

    1. It's been a very nice all day rain. We haven't had that for at least two years.

  6. That cold dip from the arctic that is causing all the melting up there, is keeping you in a much longer winter. These shifts in the weather patterns are truly fascinating and horrific at the same time.

    1. This came in over Oregon and swings up here and goes up against the mountains and we get precipitation.

    1. Snow in June doesn't happen very often but it does happen.

  8. It was the same here, in the High Country they had snow last Thursday when it rained down below. It does seem rather late in the season, though, for snow. :-)

    1. We will get snow in the Rockies. It usually doesn't snow down here.

  9. Makes me wonder how common it is to have snow in June. Glad you got some rain, and I hope things clear up there soon.

    1. We probably get snow in June once every 5 - 10 years. It's not common.

  12. Will your garden plants survive? It's been cold here, but not THAT cold! But it will be another two weeks before the full moon is over and we can put plants out. It makes for a short growing season.

    1. Steve, my one disappointment...there wasn't enough snow for good snow balls.

  14. It must have irritated the critters.

    We've had snow here in each recorded month of the year at one point or another, except for July.

    1. Critters are adaptable. We're the same here...snow every month except July.

  15. Wow, that's amazing. At least it will disappear quickly if it hasn't already.

    1. By 6 PM the snow was gone. There was only about 1 cm on the ground as most of it melted as it hit the ground.

  17. It's kind of hard to grow your garden when it snows in June!

  18. Snow in June what a fantasy dear Red :)

  19. At least it was temporary and you got some much needed rain out of it. I guess that's the positive way of looking at it :)

  20. You seem philosophical about snow and cold weather. Is your carer (The Micro Manager) just as philosophical?

  21. I do believe about this date in Minnesota,(some decades ago) as summer vacation commenced we left with our popup camper to head to Alaska and passed thru Red Deer. Don't remember it snowing though....:)

  22. Goodness, we don't even get snow in winter, yet alone in summer. I think I'll stay where I am.

  23. I hope you get the precipitation you need although I'm guessing it would be better as rain than snow?

  24. You certainly did have some not so unusual weather for your area.
