As I write this on Saturday afternoon, the weather forecast calls for 30% chance of snow tonight, with the snow level dropping to 6900 feet. Which is to say our house.
I can't count how many times it's snowed in Tahoe on Memorial Day weekend. One year I exhibited at an outdoor festival. It was so cold we dressed in our ski clothes, and we got 5 inches of snow on our tent canopies on Memorial Day.
Locals often think winter goes until June 15. Although we've had snow in July and August, it melts fast when it falls after the middle of June.
One year we skied at Alpine Meadows on June 5th. The night before we got six inches of snow. So we skied fresh powder and the air was filled with little purple butterflies.
Not many places on the planet where you can have that experience.
