May 8th or 10th back in '88 or '89 SE WI got 8" of wet, heavy snow. Power outages & schools closed. I lived 4 houses down from school, so the VP called me up and said I should come in and serve a bunch of my piled up detentions.
Served half the day but got credit for the full day.

It was -3 here Monday morning, hasn't been above freezing since, snowing and blowing still. It's not out of line, but it's a change from the crazy warm weather of a week ago.
And, it's headed your way!
Enjoy!

I think we are going to be safe from the storm here in Downeast, but we have gotten April snow for the last two years.

It's funny. Ice out on Moosehead should be any day now.

We had a spring tease but now it’s temps in the 30s and light snow forecast into at least the next 7 days. I’m burning at night again.
Historically the last bout of snow usually hits on or around Mother’s Day. I’ve driven through a few inches of slushy snow to see my mom that day many times.

Snow in April.
Family lives in Choteau Mt., just south of Glacier. They have, uhm, challenging weather.
Just got done with the book "little ice age". Nice perspective. Frost all year, then mild, rain all year, none the next, more snow, none the next.
Maybe places like Marquette MI would be used to a ton of snow, but down here it would really hem us in, and throw us for a loop to constantly have to adjust, especially early and late into the growing seasons.

It was1988 May 10th, (WI) permanently etched in my mind 8" wet sticky snow, and I had to make the Hospital delivery run of my middle son in the middle of the mess at 3am. This was the 3 third time around ( obstinate litter bugger) actual delivery did not occur until apx 10am. which by then about half of the snow had melted off. He stayed that obstinate for the next 18 years- Military service corrected that. Black ops and served in the sand pit as well . He is an IT guy now but also counsels returning service members.
