May Day Snow

It snowed! On May 1st! And it's very pretty. There's no real reason behind this video, except that sometimes you need to just watch snow fall.

(Note added May 7, 2008: Some people have been commenting on my use of the words "followers" in this video. When I used that word, I was thinking followers like on Twitter, not as in religious minions! It's started some interesting discussions, but I wanted folks to be clear on what I meant.)

FWIW, the snow was gone by afternoon, as expected. That's happened quite a few times this winter. It's weird.

@TheMyLasT1 One time on June 3rd in Chicago I witnessed a snowfall for about an hour. I actually have friends who say they saw snow flurries on the 4th of July in Minnesota. Pretty crazy.

I remember last year it snowed on may long up at the lakes. we woke up with snow everywhere and my buddy forgot his windbreaker for his tent so they were covered in it hahaha.
