Merry Month of May

Snow in May is unusual, but this year it bordered on bizarre.  The middle of the month saw plenty, much of it sticking around for most of the day.  Carol sent me a picture from Candor that was a reminder of the Mother's Day snow when I lived there sometime in the 90's.  I recall we got 6''-8'' that day though official records say the maximum in NY was 5.4'' near Syracuse.  Maybe there's no official reporter up on Honeypot.
We didn't get any accumulation here in town, but it came down hard enough that we couldn't see East Hill from our house.  That's my gauge for whether it's snowing hard but it's normally employed November thru March.
