I'll tell you, wet sloppy snow is real heavy on the awning. It does have a release when that happens.

We just had some strange stuff fall out of the sky onto the glass roof

of our sun room. I think it is called rain drops.

I should capture some and save them they are rare items.

A friend of mine who lives in Bridgeport, CA and works in Lee Vining (along US 395, east side of the Sierra Nevada) posted this shot on his FB page. I think this was taken yesterday.

He said "it snowed a solid foot" in Lee Vining yesterday, 6 inches in Bridgeport.

What an odd thing to see in May after such a snowless winter.

Light rain started yesterday evening and continued through the night. It is sure nice to smell rain. The forecast is continued unsettled weather. There has been a series of lows dropping out of Alaska and coming in from the north. I think winter might be here.

I think winter might be here.

Seems like we have had more rain in May then we had in the previous three or four months. Too little too late, but it is a nice change.

Similar in Central Oregon.

 

It feels odd to have it cool and damp now -- when back in February there were warm and sunny days...

Took a 4 day trip up to Eagle Lake last week and just got back; it rained heavy, even  hailed, had real high winds, one minute, sun the next! We even saw snow up on Fredonya Peak-seems like we had our winter in May. Any moisture is good, but talk is we will be in the 80's next week ! What next ?

Drizzle and showers this p.m. again here in Bend, and I just heard thunder.

 

Lots of unstable moist air hereabouts... Temperature is currently 54°F.

Hard to be believe we had mid-60s and sun back in February -- on a few days, at least.
