First May Snow

It's been a long wait since the April 25th snowfall. Yesterday the wind picked up and the temperature dropped. Sometime early this morning it started snowing in the village. The wind almost stopped in the village for several hours and then we switched to blizzard-like conditions and horizontal snowfalls. The snow settled until the warming sun stuck its nose out and as I start to write this the snowfall has stopped, as has the wind, but it looks like there may be some more is on its way.

From the charts at my disposal today, next weekend looks like another snowy one.

I've left a couple of photo slots free in case there is more exciting scenes tomorrow (Monday) morning.

And as I finish this report it's back to horizontal snowfalls :-)
