What May feels like

Put your nose against a ponderosa once the bark has warmed in the sun and you will understand why locals bring visitors out to do exactly that. Memorial Day is the unofficial start of the summer escape from the desert, and the campgrounds fill accordingly.

Real rain shows up about 2 days all month; the rest stay dry. about 12 nights dip below freezing.
