snow in may

[Mosh]

I only have 100 acres planted, by this time I am at least at 750-800...now it is snowing...in May!!!

Sorry to hear that Mosh. Even here the weather has been weird. Farmers are mad and I know grocery shopping will cost a fortune soon.

Look on the bright side...at least it is moisture!

We got nothing here but not to far south of me they got 16 inches last night!!

...now it is snowing...in May!!!

That's not snow. It's the new and improved Timed Release Rain. It's designed to reduce field flooding for early planting in the plains states.

Evidently, something has gone awry in the beta testing.

My nephew in Central Iowa sent this shot from his drive to work the other morning...

And yes, there was a discussion about his action photography while in an active travel lane of a major interstate during a timed release rain event.

Yep, we have over 6 inches here is west central Iowa. Just North of me got hammered. John

75 and sunny over here in western PA.

I said that a few years ago. Eventually our summer months will be our winter months and our winter months our summer...

I may not live to see it, but that right there is close enough.

Does anyone know if this is a record set for snowfall in May yet? Or has is snowed before this late in the same area???

 

[strypguy]

I think they mentioned the 1940s for Iowa snowfall in May. John

And here in Sac today is forecast to be 93 degrees, think I'll go jump in the river later this afternoon, life is just so hard at times.
