My 9th birthday party was cancelled due to that storm in Lincoln, RI.

I remember it well. I was 14, living in RI. I’d gone down the street to pull up a Maple sapling and plant it in my yard, which I did. Leaves on it and everything. It got snowed on that afternoon. Knocked it down for a bit, but it was still there 25 years later. Until someone else decided it should be cut down.

I was working out of Gardner, Massachusetts for Simplex as a driver to Logan Airport back then. Didn’t get far with all the roads closed due to fallen branches.

We remember that day so well. I was pregnant with our daughter and we had just finished hosting a party for the soon to be grandparents. Long day happy memories and schools were closed the next day. Yippee, a snow day in May.

I remember in the late 60s in june here in Oklahoma we had snow falling for about 5 minutes. the snow was the size of a diner plate. yes it did not stick but i still remember that day.

In May of 1993, It snowed in the St Joseph Mo area, I believe it was the 7th or 8th. We got about 8 inches, which melted by noon. That was also the year of the Great Flood of 93′. Any year we have had record snows or late snows there have been floods.

I guess snow doesent have to be for winter only! It snows through march, april, may, june?? and july!? although ive never seen snow after april that i can remember, snow in may is really rare and i couldnt imagine it to happen this year! considering the fact we just had a big one in april but i think were all safe now. Its about 65-70 degrees outside at 10:00 AM. May 2012 is just normal! highs in the 70s and lows in the 50s and 60s. It’l be summer here pretty soon so that nasty, hot weather is about to creep up on us

i dont see how it can snow so late! we live in virginia so were used to snow but not in may. Wouldnt that warm sun melt it really really quick? ive had a few april snows before that were fairly big though
