Walking in a winter wonderland


I took this picture a few minutes ago:

I've lived here in central Maine all my life, and I've never seen it snow in May, let alone the second week of May. The last snowfall of the year is usually on or around April 1st. This year we got a foot or more of wicked heavy, wet snow on April 10th, which caused massive power outages throughout the state (hundreds of thousands of homes were without power, which represents a significant percentage of Maine's population). I'd never seen mere snow cause such widespread power outages before (you'd normally need a major ice storm, like the one in 1998, to do that) and it being that late in the year made it especially weird.

I live in Ohio and it's freezing here - I think there were some flurries up around the lake. On the weather map it looks like the entire section got hit with a blast of arctic air.

I'm in the Appalachians and it was 28 degrees at 630 this morning.

It's beautiful.

Climate change causes weather extremes.

I hope my area gets a few flurries instead of rain.
Very scenic photo.

End times, my friend, end times. Keep your eyes peeled for a hippie floating down from the sky.

Louisiana here and I was definitely surprised at how cold it was when I got up this morning. Must have been in upper 40’s.
