May 9th began the daylight hours with a sunrise at 5:30, and will finish up with a sunset at 8:04, the length of the day 14 hours and 34 minutes.
May snowstorms are discouraging, but they make interesting entries. On this date in 1966, a three-day spell of snow amounted to nearly 6 inches in Newport, VT, and a whopping 11 inches in Peru, VT. Burlington's 3.5 inches was the most recorded there so late in the season.
