For example, the wife and I went to Little Rock Arkansas in June of 2014. We had been driving in 80+ degrees for two days when we stopped in Evanston Wyoming for the night. We had only just arrived in town when we ran into a snow shower. Ended up literally sliding into an intersection due to slushy conditions. The weather forecasts called for hot and sunny the whole trip, so we didn't anticipate bad weather and were caught totally flat footed
