New England got some record-breaking snow this morning
It’s May 16.
It snowed in northern New England today. Summer starts in 35 days, and it snowed.
When most people in normal places with regular, predictable weather woke up to a nice, mid-may spring-scape, towns in New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine, and Massachusetts saw a scene more suitable for winter.

So what did they do? They tweeted about it.
It’s snowing. It’s 5/16 and snow is sticking to the ground. Who says God doesn’t have a sense of humor.

The storm was a milestone for Maine, who has never seen snow this deep into spring, according to Boston.com meteorologist Dave Epstein.

And the snow only touched western Massachusetts, so Boston has yet to break its May 10 late snowfall record, set in 1977, Epstein said. Though we’ve still got about a month until the season ends, so Mother Nature has time to hit the area with a spring blizzard. (But don’t tell her that.)
