I REGRET TO SAY THAT...

      I regret to tell you that I had snow this morning for a couple of hours. Yes, snow. At times there were the huge wet snow flakes that if they hit you just went plop or sort of a splash. 

     Snow accumulated on the ground and rooves but melted quickly. 

     This always sends people back in the record s and they can usually find something worse.

    Here's how it looked this morning. 



    The first two  photos show the big wet sloppy snow flakes coming down this morning.

     The next photo goes back into Red's records of a May 1, 1985 record. This was a couple of days after the blizzard and my daughter decided to have some fun.

  1. Yuck, that does look like a messy snow! It seems like most everyone is having a cold spring this year. I love the picture of your daughter sunning herself in the snow!

  3. Hello,

    We had some hail, enough to cover the ground. It is colder here, what's up with the weather. Cute photo of your daughter! Happy Sunday, enjoy your day!

    1. I think we've always had variations and if we went back and looked at weather records we'd find lots of examples.

  4. You are making me feel that we are positively fortunate with our terrible weather which seems benign compared with yours..

  8. Well, I hope that's the end of snow there for a while. Reminds me of the time it snowed in Boulder, Colorado on my birthday (May 13th). It was quite a cold surprise. I love that photo of your daughter.

  9. Not surprising! We had the same here a little while back. But it didn't last long. Life in Canada.

  11. It's hard to see for sure, but I guess your daughter is sitting in that outfit surrounded with snow! It should be short lived today, Red.

    1. Late snow is not uncommon here. Usually it melts away very quickly.

  13. Hi Red, It seems late for snow but it isn't really that unusual is it? Great pic of your daughter enjoying the sunshine in the snow. I hope you'll tell us more about how you are going through all your old slides. Are they already organized or do you have to put them on a light tray and pick out the ones you want to scan?

    1. My slides were fairly well organized. They all had info written on them and I transfer that info to the scan.

  18. That is amazing to me. Snow on May 9th! I like the picture of your daughter dresses for nice May weather, sitting in the snow.

  19. That's a great photo of your daughter in shorts surrounded by snow! That's a spring snow for you, quickly followed by warmth. I hope your current snow is soon gone.

  23. Snow in May, especially this late in May, never mentally affects me because I know it will be done by the afternoon or the next day at the latest. But the cold blustery days we've been having for a couple weeks now with another forecasted week is playing havoc on my mental stability.

    1. Yes, that kind of weather and being locked up, wears on the nerves.

  24. Goodness. That’s not fair when you’re hankering for spring! As my dad used to say, at least you don’t have to shovel it. It will go away on its own.
