Cold(est) Memorial Day Weekend?

Coldest Memorial Day I can remember no matter where I was during that holiday weekend. A train wreck for anyone here for the holiday.

This rain should put to bed any short term worries about a drought and earlier than normal low lake levels.

A positive spin is we got a lot of stuff done indoors that wouldn't have gotten done if it was sunny and in the 70s+. It's the stuff that if we don't get to it before Memorial Day, it tends to not get done until after Labor Day. Like vacuuming out the crawl space. Does anyone else vacuum out their crawl space? For some reason, my wife never volunteers for that activity.

I checked out the Mt. Washington weather...wondering if they might get some snow. Pretty much an all rain event. Temp there now is 38 degrees.

Here however, the forecast is looking up. About 10 degrees warmer tomorrow; then the temperature is on an incline for the rest of the week. By this time next week we could be flirting with 90.

not to be morbid, but several times this cold, dreary, Memorial Day weekend, my mind drifted back to a similarly cold, rainy Memorial Day weekend sometime in the 1970's...I think it might have been 1975-ish...I was 12 or 13. There was a terrible accident on the lake. Folks were in a speedboat at night...I think it was a big Cigarette boat, but I'm not sure...that was the generic term used anyway. It was a cold, rainy night on Memorial Day weekend and the boat came way too close to shore, going way too fast, and went airborne into a cottage.

That's about all I remember....maybe those of you that are a bit older than me that were adults at the time might remember more. I remember my parents and other adults being very shaken up at the time.
