Things that are NOT okay on May 12th...

…snow. I think it's fair to say that we won't be watering any flowers (who spies the buried watering can?) or grilling out today. Not cool.

How's it faring in the mountains, @Lyndausvi?

Topics like this drive home why I will NEVER move outside of SoCal.

What's worse it that it was 70 degrees on Saturday. There's no hope for my sinuses.

OMG. That is crazy. But, yep! I'm on board with @JennyColada, not moving out of the South if I can help it.

Ours looks about the same. About 6 or so inches.   It was a winter wonderland this morning.   Almost fake like. Maybe it was because I was half asleep this morning, but I felt like I was dreaming.

 I will see if I can upload a picture.

This was  my home office view this morning.

I bet it is pretty up there. Not so much down here. Slushy roads and a shit ton of wind. Apparently we got a bunch more down south than they did in the city. My sister said they barely have covering on the grass and the road are just wet. I've never been so glad I work half days from home on Mondays. Me = PJs all day.

Oh no!!! If it makes you feel any better, I think we're getting about 6 inches of rain right now. Michigan had e-fucking-nough snow over the winter though, and it only stopped a few weeks ago. I think there would seriously be a mass exodus if it snowed again now.

That sucks! 

The weather here has been crazy. We have a high of 85 today and a high of 65 tomorrow.

We are getting the exact opposite.

Ugh thank god this didn't hit MN, we've only been in the clear for about a month. Nothing would shock me anymore. Much wine for you. Or maybe brandy or something else kind of wintry. 

SmileDamnit

Ugh. I feel for y'all in heat waves, too. My mom is in NC and she said it's pushing 90 with hella high humidity today. I fear Ma Nature is just pissed at everyone everywhere. 

And I like the way you think, @FiancB! Off to add some Bailey's too my coffee

Ugh, snow in May?? Horrible. 

VulgarGirl

I went to the pool on Saturday.

We've got gorgeous spring weather, which is awesome because usually it's already hot. Though end of the week says 102 (blech, already?!). I've been trying to be outside enjoying it while it lasts before our first heat advisory hits. 

sweetwisconsin

This has been the worst winter ever. I feel for you. When we were still getting snow a few weeks ago I was like shit...maybe we should re-think what we are wearing for engagement photos (which are this weekend). It's May mother nature! Get your act together!

blabla89

Goodness gracious. Where do y'all live that you're getting snow in mid-may?

I'm sending you lots of good vibes and warm thoughts.

I've been in Arizona all weekend, so the thought of snow terrifies me at this point. It was 90+ all weekend and this morning when it was 70, I was caught saying "Well, at least it is nice and cool today". 

Sorry about the snow

We're in Denver. Spring's are notoriously unpredictable here (not uncommon to have 50+ degree temp swings day-to-day), but this isn't normal this late in the game. We usually go with the Mom's Day rule of thumb for planting flowers & such, but even that was foiled this year. The beauty is that it'll be sunny tomorrow and all melted/back to "normal" by Wednesday (…knock on wood).

I live near Aspen.  It's my first spring here, so I do  not know if this is normal or not.  I do know people have told me they have skiied on 4th of July.

hellohkb

Okay, now I feel bad for bitching about the heat this week..

FiancB

I spoke too soon. Sounds like we're going to get it tomorrow.

I am a CA transplant living in IL now.  Let me be clear, I love snow.  I love winter, its why I moved here.  That being said, this last winter was crazytown and even I got sick of the cold and snow.  If I had that happen here I honestly would have cried.  And I wouldn't blame you if you wept into a glass of wine or four.

Wow, it's warmer in Alaska right now.

I dunno about skiing on the 4th, but my family's had a snowball fight that weekend before up around there.  (Friend with a cabin.)  I told mom at least she can have the 2 kids living at home shovel the driveway for Mother's Day this year.  Meanwhile, I just live in fear of high winds that might start to circulate.

@FiancB where in MN are you?  I'm in the 'burbs of  St. Paul and it says we're going to be sunny and 58 tomorrow! pleasegodnoSNOW!

....and a beautiful sunny 60 degrees today. Go figure!
