Had a similar experience camping in the Bighorns...was warm and balmy and we
were all in shorts and t-shirts and a massive black frontal system rolled
through and within 2 hours the roads were closed...end of June.....

I'm praying for that, too...so far the weekend looks really dismal...it's
"take out" day at the Yacht Club and we're supposed to get snow. How
fun.
Maybe we'll be able to walk out to the can to bring the boat in rather
than
row.

That reminds me of a sailing experience. Once, racing and Ensign at Lake
Dillon in the Colorado Rockies, we left the dock in shorts and t-shirts.
It
was about 70 degrees F and sunny, light breeze blowing from the west. By
mid-race, the clouds had rolled in over Buffalo Mountain and the temp was
dropping fast. On the final spinnaker run, the snow began. We'd donned
our
jeans, sweaters, and foulies, and were still freezing. We placed second,
mostly because the winning boat had taken a flyer along the shore, where
the
pines sheltered him from the 35kt. blow coming down the side of the
mountain. The fleet struggled to stay upright out on the lake. Back at
the
dock it was nearly impossible to walk, thanks to about 2" of fresh, wet
snow. Temp was 33 degrees, and it dropped well into the 20s before
midnight
that evening. 7" of snow, but all gone by noon the next day when the temp
got back to around 70. This was in mid-July.

And we think Michigan has variable weather.
