[WashingtonPost] The city of Gander in Newfoundland woke up to several inches of snow Tuesday [26 June]
despite the calendar confirming that July was just four days away.
"I got up and I looked out to the window, and I felt like going back to bed again, really," John Lushman said in an interview with the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. "The truck was there with four, five inches of snow all over, and the patio has three or four inches all over the patio, and the driveway has four or five inches..."
According to Rodney Barney, a meteorologist at Environment Canada, Gander reported 2 centimeters
[different from the Lushman report but Gander is hilly and elevation differences in snow accumulation are common]
of snow at 9:30 a.m. on Tuesday, which was a record for accumulating snow so late in the season. The previous record was June 14, 1976. Snow depth records date back from 1955, according to Barney.
