Middle of May and it is cold and damp with rain and snow. Particularly “corn snow”. This morning the regular, wet, heavy snow clung to the trees and made the world look like December. Then the sun came out and melted most of that. Then it “rained like hail” as we used to say in Texas.
Corn snow is a cross between snow and hail. Little round kernel sized balls of snow that pound down, sounding almost like hail. If they fall gently, they are quieter but still noisier than snow. It has come and gone all day, mixed with snow and rain and even a little bit of sun.
Tomorrow and Friday are supposed to be sunny with rain coming back over the weekend. Spring in the mountains is a mixed bag. Now if the sun would just join the rest of the mess and finally outshine it all.
