It's started snowing here, hasn't started sticking yet, but if this keeps up.... Isn't it kinda late in the year for this?

you gotta be kidding me? It's going to be in the 30s here, but not snowing.
Button up your overcoat!

Global warming.
Chris says it's cold in Sequim and she's having to wear clothes. But it's not snowing just raining.

It's getting cold here, and raining, but snow? I don't think that'll happen here. I hope it goes away soon, Dennis, it's way to late for that.

We woke up to white. Nice white snow everywhere. Everything is about a month late. Not a leaf or plum blossom in sight. Crocuses and Daffodils are in full bloom. Tulips are a week to two weeks away.
A spring like this is uncommon, but they can and do happen, and this year it has. I don't mind it. I like cool, sunny weather, and that is what we are having, for the most part. Nothing wrong with a sunny fifty degree day. Not a bug, fly, or mosquito in sight. And the daffodils last forever in this cool weather. And the other guys will show up.

Where's Al Gore when you need him?
Minnesota needs to invest in a lot more "carbon offsets" thru Al Gore's General Investment Management so you can stop all this additional snow that comes with global warming.

In 1976 I woke to 2 feet of snow on the 30th of May, about 40 miles north of here. I very nearly had a fit. It had been a long cold winter huddling by the wood stove.

I have to admit I much prefer snow to twisters -- if I'm allowed to choose. :-) None of the snow stuck down here, but we're supposed to get more tonight :-(
Sek - I feel your pain - I went on a 4th of July camping trip (sometime in the late 70s) and woke to 3 inches of new snow, needless to say I hadn't packed for it.

Dennis, remember the 4th of July party at George(the 5 foot 18 inch girl) and her roommate (who's name I don't remember) when we had snow flurrys out on their back deck. That was strange and it wasn't even real cold. But like Chris I'm finding old and cold don't go together well.
