Things are really warming up this Spring...

Snow on May 16. Seriously. It won't stick, but expect a cool, damp week

You can rub the sleep out of your eyes and pinch yourself as much as you want, but what you saw this morning falling from the sky was snow.

Snow that was currently sticking to the ground above 3,200 feet at 8 a.m. Snow that was falling with rain during the morning commute in the Boise area.

The good news is that it isn't sticking below that 3,200 feet.

Monday morning was especially wet in the Boise area. The National Weather Service measured .17 of an inch of rain since midnight, but the vast majority of that rain began falling after 6 a.m.

The bad news, for those of us who like warm and sunny Boise weather in spring, is that the National Weather Service forecast shows a unseasonably cold and wet week ahead.

The estimated high temperature for Boise area Monday is 57 degrees. The normal high temperature for May 16 is 71 degrees.
