How can you stand it?? I’m so ready for Spring.
May 1st, 2008 at 12:24 pm
Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Will it not end? I’m in Maine, for pete’s sake, and it ended here a few weeks ago. This is NOT FAIR for you. Not fair at all.

Oh - I feel so sorry for you. We had a few flurries on Monday - but not real snow - nothing stuck to the ground. I *think* we’re done here in the midwest, but I guess you never know. Now we’ve got thunderstorms “scheduled” for 8 of the next 10 days.

It’s going to snow again this weekend in MN, not looking forward to the continuation of winter.
May 1st, 2008 at 12:38 pm
I’m thinkin’…just maybe Heather might start to rethink her whole global warming concern, at least in SLC. Perhaps a more appropriate fear might be an upcoming ice age.
Sorry dude, it’s sunny and 80 here today in TN with stellar May winds. I can’t even imagine snow as of this calendar date.

Nice music, though. Can you tell me what it is?
May 1st, 2008 at 12:47 pm
Love the ambient music. It would be perfect for work. Who is the artist/album please?
May 1st, 2008 at 12:48 pm
This is just getting ridiculous. Will it ever end?
May 1st, 2008 at 12:49 pm
That makes me want to put my head in the oven.
May 1st, 2008 at 12:51 pm
You poor people. It snowed here in May one year, and I seriously thought I was going to have to be removed from the CN Tower by police helicopters.
May 1st, 2008 at 12:54 pm
For this reason, and the fact that it is landlocked, I only survived 13 months of living in Utah. My brother is being forced to serve a 2 year mission there. Well, that’s not why I’m not Mormon anymore, we’re gonna blame that on the tequila!
May 1st, 2008 at 12:58 pm
Yeah, this is the point at which I would be doing one of the following:
a) building a bonfire on the lawn and dancing around it clothed in ritualistic robes, chanting, shaking beads and sacrificing icons to the flames;
b) writing a suicide blog to the internets and setting up the webcam to prove there was a really good reason;
c) contacting my relatives to move back in with them immediately. Even though they are crazy.
I really am pulling for you. I hope the weather gets springy soon!! It took longer than usual here in the northeast too!

Global warming, or is it the next ice age? Freaky weather has been the norm for the past several years. I’m not Mormon, I’m not even Christian… a Unitarian Universalist… but I think GOD is sending messages to our country. A) You are waging a totally wrong war… and your president is stupid to boot. Therefore B) Hurricane Katrina - take out one of the most fun places in the US plus the coastal areas of MI & AL, C) more hurricanes hit Texas & Louisiana again, D) Freaky weather everywhere and throw in some serious global climate change (Hey we never signed the Kyoto agreement!), E) natural disasters (increase the # of fires in California, let them in on the fun.), F) drought increasing in some areas, G) snow in May in Utah… How’s that for messages from God?
May 1st, 2008 at 1:08 pm
One of the many reasons I’m glad to live in Texas.
May 1st, 2008 at 1:12 pm
I swear, I thought for sure, after about 30 seconds in to that video, that Heather was going to show up, run past the camera and off of the deck………
I’m in Kentucky and if it gets below 50 degrees right now I get depressed. I don’t see how you guys are handling this. Lots of bourbon, I hope.
May 1st, 2008 at 1:16 pm
Time to move back to CA!
May 1st, 2008 at 1:20 pm
Sounds like Boards of Canada. I don’t recognize the track though.
And I pity you and your May snowfall.
May 1st, 2008 at 1:25 pm
Yeah - it’s going to snow here as well.
Funny thing is, this is normal for us. Our last snowstorm is typically Memorial Day weekend.
But isn’t summer grand! Yay!
May 1st, 2008 at 1:29 pm
what a beating! i hope the sun comes out for you tomorrow.
May 1st, 2008 at 1:53 pm
Nothing (as in NOTHING) you can do about it; might as well enjoy it.
…or invest heavily in antidepressants and full-spectrum sun lamps.
Personally, I’m still envious.
May 1st, 2008 at 2:00 pm
This is why I don’t live in Utah.
May 1st, 2008 at 2:01 pm
boarding!
May 1st, 2008 at 2:02 pm
Has it not been the freakiest weather ever!!??
May 1st, 2008 at 3:14 pm
I think it’s Boards of Canada. Pick one. Doesn’t matter which. All their songs sound the same.
I keed! I keed!
Also. I had to sweep off my car AGAIN this morning. *grumpy*
May 1st, 2008 at 3:33 pm
Jon and Heather I commiserate….I’m sitting here sweating in a wool dress impatiently waiting for our winter to start. I know….rubbing it in.
Turn the central heating up to full and have a cold margarita.
May 1st, 2008 at 3:52 pm
We’re expecting 18-36 inches tonight and I do believe I shall die. Snow days are not what they used to be.
May 1st, 2008 at 4:07 pm
I live in Missoula, MT - the day I graduated from high school (JUNE FREAKING 3RD), it snowed 4 inches of heavy wet snow. We were going to have the first outdoor graduation in 10 years…
May 1st, 2008 at 4:14 pm
That’s awful.
May 1st, 2008 at 4:16 pm
this is getting ridonculous.
May 1st, 2008 at 5:23 pm
Yeah, I’m with you…my husband & I have relocated to Jackson, WY from East Tennessee, and this winter is KILLING us. His new favorite saying is “Oh, look. It’s snowing. What a fuckin’ surprise.” My blog has been reduced to not much more than a daily whinefest about the weather. I’ve given up on Spring…I assume that I’m just going to wake up one day and it will be Summer…and the next day it will probably snow.
May 1st, 2008 at 5:39 pm
Utah can kiss my ass. *Very grumpy with snow in yard in May*
May 1st, 2008 at 5:42 pm
Let’s switch houses. I want snow. you can have the heat and the dryness of california. It’s May and I am sick of it.
May 1st, 2008 at 6:58 pm
You’re a better man than I.
May 1st, 2008 at 7:04 pm
Is this normal for Utah?
May 1st, 2008 at 7:14 pm
Actually this is how the winter weather was growing up in Utah, then like 10 years ago, it stopped snowing as much and we experienced spring for the first time in April and sometimes March. It’s come full circle and the REAL Utah winters are back. Just wait…it will snow in June, it did last year! Then you’ll have a blazing hot summer until September 1st when it starts snowing again!
My husband has warned me though, if he see’s snow when we come to Utah in June, he’ll turn the car around and drive back home to Arizona. So do what you can please to get rid of it, I’d like to see my Utahrded family and friends.
May 1st, 2008 at 7:44 pm
Ugh. You MUST move.
May 1st, 2008 at 7:59 pm
Are you trying to suggest I should stop complaining about the 50 degree weather and cold breeze after the 80’s of last week? Because I won’t .
May 1st, 2008 at 8:00 pm
Run away, run away!
May 1st, 2008 at 8:22 pm
I’m watching this thinking that for you, Jon, video is just an excuse for a soundtrack. It’s all about the music — crack me up.
When it snowed the other day, the first thing that came to mind was, Oh, those poor Armstrongs are gonna hate this. Then, because I was vaguely in your part of town, house hunting, I thought, “Hey, when summer comes, it’s gonna be five degrees cooler up here. Yes!” We were cruising the steep hillside neighborhoods and my New York buddy says,
“This isn’t like Salt Lake at all, it’s got a California hippie vibe.”
“Sausalito,” I offer, “without the Bay.”
“Yup! And definitely a Republican-free zone.”
“Sure, until you reach the lair of robber barons higher up the hill.”
Folks in Peoria, this is High Desert country at 4,200 ft on the valley floor and, say, 5,000 ft in areas around the valley perimeter. That means 30- to 40-degree diurnal swings (day/night), hot as hell summers, and deep freeze winters. Sometimes spring or fall, the best seasons, last two weeks. Luckily, longer this spring. We Mormons call this Zion to put a positive spin on Hell. Um, good preparation, personally speaking.

You guys can totally pack up and come down to Florida where it’s sunny and 80+, dogs and all, I’ll even move out and let you have the whole house to yourselves, that’s how horrible I feel for you. Snow in May??
May 2nd, 2008 at 4:50 am
Love the tune, it rocks! Goes beautifully with the falling snow. Thanks for sharing.
May 2nd, 2008 at 6:11 am
You know, it IS just a LITTLE unreasonable, I agree!
hang in there Jon!
May 2nd, 2008 at 6:51 am
that really sucks…I agree w/Amy…just start living a lie, inside, maybe the weather will come around
May 2nd, 2008 at 8:07 am
I look out the window and I see sun, I go outside without a jacket ^^ Long live Europe!
May 2nd, 2008 at 8:34 am
creepy song.
I’d actually like some snow, haven’t seen any since I moved to germany. Just not in May - that’s definatly weird. Over here we’re happy it’s finally giong over 20° C…
May 2nd, 2008 at 8:34 am
Ewww. Ewwww. Ewww!!
May 2nd, 2008 at 8:42 am
people are seriously blaming george for this?
the poor man.
May 2nd, 2008 at 8:46 am
Sigh.
May 2nd, 2008 at 10:26 am
F that.
May 2nd, 2008 at 3:48 pm

May 2nd, 2008 at 5:17 pm
Amen on the “God Bless Texas!”
May 2nd, 2008 at 6:17 pm
Too much of a good thing eh.
May 2nd, 2008 at 6:19 pm
Apparently Utah is the perfect place to live for schizophrenics. I am thoroughly sickened by it. I may write a letter to my senator…
May 4th, 2008 at 2:38 am
will you like to trade? It is 35degree C here in south east asia
gacks
global disaster warming!
May 4th, 2008 at 6:39 am
Snow in May is sick!
May 6th, 2008 at 7:28 am
Us too.
May 6th, 2008 at 2:53 pm
That’s not snow. That’s the devil’s terds. He likes to take big craps on people trying to celebrate Spring. Blasphemous.
