May be warm

May be cold

May be sunny

May rain

May snow

Maybe just like the Black Hills.

Lots of maybe's when it comes to the weather this time of year.

The worst snow storm I have ever been in was on COLUMBINE PASS in Beartooth Wilderness , Montana on Labor day SEPT 1st 1982

Where I live it is real close to 4000ft and the record high for May 2 is 80 and the low 16. We average 72 inches of snow per year and the only months it has never snowed are July and August. It rarely gets over 90.

A storm producing just about a foot of snow in Worcester passed through Massachusetts on May 9th and 10th that year. The storm caused a lot of tree damage as the trees were already leafed out. The National Guard was called out to help with the cleanup.

Hmmm. My cabin sits at 7,880', and the lowest elevation I've
visited in Wyoming is above 4,000'. I don't pay much attention
to low or high temps. If it hits 84° where I live I begin to think
about climbing.

We've logged snow all 12 months.

I've measured this season's snow at 106". We're expecting 3" tonight.
Saturday's forecast says, "60 degrees." Can you say, "mud"?

Weather is relative, and we call it the "equalizer"!

That's one of the reasons we enjoy the U.S.'s lowest population.

As I tell the tourists who fall is love in the summer, "Don't tell your friends."

There is a reason most of northern Wyoming drains into Montana

More snow this morning

All the more reason to stay below I-10.

Glad that you and a lot of others feel that way

Couple questions

How much do you spend on air conditioning below I 10? Any cockroaches and rats down there? None up here. How about "undocumented" immigrants? You got any of those? They figure there are less than 5000 in this state and half of them are from Canada. How much public land do you have to hunt fish and camp on? We have 30 MILLION acres, Texas has 1 million. Can you buy 2 over the counter elk tags like I can here? Can you hunt elk from Sept to the middle of Feb. like here? Everyone down there speak English like they do up here? Hows your murder rate? Ours is has gone up to 4 while Texas was over 8. The whole state of Montana with 1.1 million had 35 murders last year while the 2.3 million in Houston had 348 last year. We have had one murder in our county in the last 20 years.

I stay up here and deal with a skiff of snow in May

Steelslaver left out that all this can happen the same day.

I attended the Colorado Arms Collector show in Colorado Springs on May 21 and 22, 2021. On Saturday morning I had right at ten inches of snow on top of my car. By the afternoon it was nearly all gone and was a pretty sunshiny day.

The 6" of rain we have had in the past week would have amounted to how much snow?

It would take a foot or more of wet snow and maybe 4ft of powder snow to make 6" of rain.

Melting snow tends to soak in to the ground more than rain

We'll be in the low 90's this coming week.

We had rain turning to snow Fri. 3May24.
Didn’t amount to anything, roads dry by
1500(3:00pm).

Nice today, 60°F in the afternoon. Windy
later also.

MAY go Fly Fishing late afternoon, not a
morning Fly Fisherman.

To each their own. I hope you enjoy every day. Remember friend, there are four kinds of lies: Big lies, Little lies, Statistics, and everything a salesman says. God bless you!

My sincere condolences.

The high last year at my cabin was 84°. Even that was too much.

Another little May storm blowing through. Sheriff just posted this warning on the road east out of town
Please avoid the Divide on 87 East due to High Winds, Snow, low visibility, and Ice/slush covered roads! Travel is extremely dangerous in this area!

Looks like May brings your 3rd Season - Late Winter. When does your 4th Season - Road Repair - start?

Oh, road repair season has started as it always overlaps with both late and early winter. Those are frozen mud seasons

This was our drive through Wisconsin a couple of weeks ago.
We don't call the 99 Tahoe the "snow cat" for nothing.

Another good reason not to move to Montana

Out my door on a beautiful May 9th spring morning

Nothing like Springtime in the Rockies.

Last Sunday here in Utah Valley it was 64 degrees at 9 in the morning. It was snowing at 3:30 in the afternoon.

It put about an inch down at our home. We had to go out and shake the leafed out trees and shrubs to keep the snow from busting them up.

Alta ski resort got over three feet of new snow.

This time of year the furnace might be running in the morning and the air conditioner in the afternoon.

Oh, yeah, the Rockies.

Luckily the aspen buds have not opened.

The pretty Douglas firs are resilient, but that big drooping pine
bough at left center is the result of a heavy 4" snow two weeks
ago. it's about 4" in diameter where it snapped.

Supposed to be 60° on Saturday.

Walking uphill both ways to school everyday in a blizzard is normal here.

Heavy wet snow breaks a lot of stuff. I had a big branch bust off an apple tree and land in the driveway. But thats nothing. Here is something
west of town

A creek runnng over

I have to go deal with another Montana common occurrence. Wife hit a deer on road beside the creek. Have to replace right headlight assembly and the grill in her Lincoln. A bunch of them go back and forth from creek to golf course and the way the road goes its hard to see them before they are on it. But, if your not careful you could hit one driving down main street.

I remember a spring storm laying a lot of transmission poles over near Judith Gap. If your selling power to the coast and can't get it there it's not a minor inconvenience. Then you get the ice build up on wires to 2" diameter and you have a lor of weight swinging around. One goes and pretty soon they all go.
