Like no one else at our latitude

Except in mountains, I suspect that there is nowhere else at our latitude (47 degrees North) where people *expect* to see snow in June. We do.

This was the view across the valley from our kitchen door a few minutes ago: a dwigh of wet snow that has lasted a couple of hours. At our house's elevation, just 35 metres above sea level, it is not sticking (so far). But at higher levels, it certainly is.

June tenth, today, is not the latest June snow I remember. We had about ten cm one day in mid-June, the fifteenth if I remember correctly, about 45 years ago. I got a day off work as a result -- there was too much snow on the ground for us to do proper work at the archaeological dig I was working at.
