Still Snow On The Ground After Snowfall - Badass Tulips Soldier On

Yesterday's snowfall in the afternoon brought about 10 cm of snow. But the coldness persisted and we still have snow on the ground.

This is ridiculous. The gooseberry bush in the foregdound has fully grown leaves. Only yesterday morning the lawn was green and it had started growing properly. The berry bushes under the frame of the canopy are also busy growing leaves. (In case you're wondering, the frame of the canopy is there because we didn't want snow falling from the roof damage it.)

Snow on May 12 is nothing unheard of. One morning in the second week of June in 2014, there was a bit of snow on the ground in Tampere in the southwest of Finland. It melted in a few hours. @evenuncovered mentioned that a couple of hundred kilometers to the north, there had been snow on the ground at Midsummer in the same year. Even in the southern half of Finland, it is possible to have a black Christmas and a white Midsummer. That is rare, of course, but possible.

I checked and found out that the likelihood of a white Christmas is 80-90% in most of the inland in the southern half of the country and 60-80% in coastal areas. I've never seen snow with my own eyes at Midsummer in my entire life.

Yesterday's snowfall didn't sit well with those flowers.

Those tulips didn't let the mini-blizzard rain on their parade. More power to them!
