For several days the forecast for the Grand Canyon Rim had included snow. The % chance increased thru the day, the weather was certainly overcast and windy, but regardless I found it hard to believe that there would be a May snow storm...

I setup my recorder and microphones in a small drainage under Aspens with fresh green leaves. After a little hiking and a few photos I was surprised by the smell, rain - or maybe snow? By the time I reached the rim clouds had covered the canyon to the west, sleet fell first, then snow.

I kept taking photos until the canyon was nothing but clouds. I expected the snow to stop quickly, the excitement to end, it just kept falling. By the time I had hiked back to the small canyon it was blanketed by snow. Not expecting a storm I setup my microphones exposed to the sky and thanked my Windjammers for intercepting the wet snow.

Back at the road it was still snowing - my truck had an impressive build up of snow. The swirling storm and the blanket of white made for a slow drive back to camp.
