Spring was spoiled by snow to start this week in parts of the Upper Midwest, Plains and Rockies thanks to a late-May chill. Snow has been reported in at least seven states since Sunday, including Colorado, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wisconsin and Wyoming.
The top snow total was in Fairplay, Colorado, where 14 inches of snow was reported. Several other locations in the Colorado Rockies also reported over six inches of snow.
Up to seven inches of snow was measured in the Nebraska Panhandle 30 miles south of Merriman. To the north in the Black Hills of South Dakota, four to five inches of snow fell near the Deerfield Reservoir.
In North Dakota, northern Minnesota, northern Wisconsin and Upper Michigan, snow totals were mostly light with a dusting to a couple of inches at most. On top of that, temperatures dipped into the 20s on both Tuesday and Wednesday morning in parts of these states.
Below are some photos of the late-May snow that we've gathered from social media.
