Wow, accurate weather forecasting, who knew. I was pretty sure this "snow" would be just a dusting that imitated a heavy frost. Measurable snow falling at this time is pretty historical and has only happened a few times in the last hundred years. Last year on this day, it was almost 90°F!
It started innocently enough in the evening.
We went for a walk to pick up some pizza and it was definitely going to be a little hard on Tulip Time at this point, it was still just menacing flurries.
The next morning, it was clear the snow meant business.
I did fund the plowing of 1/4" snow depth somewhat comical.
After the storm was over, we had a forecast for pretty quick return to seasonal normal temps.
Once the heat turned back on, people came outside again. The food booths were bustling along.
Tubs for the street scrubbers had ice/slush on them.
Many of the West-Market Park vendors had a rough go of the weekend. Lots of collapsed tents with the fabric removed and frame haphazardly discarded.
I think a person could have collected these and made a few good ones from the parts. They were all over the place.
The snow melted off pretty quick and the city did manage to run a single day and night parade on Saturday.
