Record snow falls in Minneapolis after historically warm winter............

2. This is remnant of my childhood in coastal North Carolina.

We had a pretty normal winter in 1979... wet, temps around the 40s every day with the occasional dip into the low 20s at night. Then, the first week of May. We got a wild front that rolled through and dumped 18 inches of snow on my little town. We were paralyzed for the entire week. (We were out of school for the entire week as well since this thing hit us on a Sunday/Monday morning!) My mother has pictures of the Daffodils sticking out of the snow since we had been dealing with temps in the upper 80s since early April. There were many confused plants that week!
