About May 3, 1945 we had snow in the Town of Barker, Broome County, NY. We had just moved the previous day to the big house on farm my parents had just purchased from Lester Brewer. We had lived on the farm since Feb. 1939, Dad working the farm on shares. We woke up that May morning to see several inches of snow on the ground and trees. It quickly melted. That is the latest I can remember snow in spring. It's frosty but sunny here in Broome County today. Chris

I remember either early May 1976 or '77 while I was at SUNY Morrisville snow falling in the morning. It was also the same year that I went to Old Forge to visit a cousin a month later and it snowed a couple of inches overnight at his cabin. Knew right there and then, after a couple of duty stations in tropical climates in the Army, that I should have never come back to Central NY during the winter. I have made it a habit, over the last 30 years, of not going any farther north than Dallas, Texas between Thanksgiving and Easter, except for weddings and funerals. It is a pleasure to visit Central NY and the Finger Lakes during late July and August when it's too dang hot for man or beast down here. As well as to find shelter from a hurricane or two. I always advise all my Upstate friends and relatives not to visit us here in Houston during the summer, but anytime after New Year's or Valentine's Day up to Memorial Day they are more than welcome. Here's hoping that Central New York has a wonderful Spring and Summer. See ya'll in August, Steve http://stjogo.blogspot.com/ http://homepage.mac.com/stjogo/goyette/index.html http://homepage.mac.com/stjogo/Genealogy/PhotoAlbum11.html
