It’s that brief window of time for Michiganders to throw on a pair of shorts, enjoy an outdoor patio, maybe eat an ice cream cone.

And ... find a pile of snow? Apparently.

Yoopers who believed they were finally free from winter’s cold clutches are sadly mistaken.

A man in the Keweenaw Peninsula in the northernmost part of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula found a mini mound of snow in his backyard on Wednesday and recorded a viral video that has stirred lots of amazement, laughter and head-shaking.

“It’s been 85, 90 degrees lately in the Keweenaw, Upper Peninsula, Michigan,” Mark Mezydlo says to the camera. “And guess what I found?”

He tromps through the grassy yard, shovel in hand, sweating in the summer sunshine.

“I don’t believe this,” he says, approaching a mound of sawdust with a suspicious bit of white peeking through. “What’s today’s date?”

It’s July 24, responds Sandra Turnquist, the woman filming the video. And then she sees it: snow. That thing that sticks around too long and shows up too early, but surely has no right to rear its ugly head in July.

Mezydlo says he thinks it must be a record.

“Oh my God — are you kidding me?” he says, scraping at the clean, white snow with the shovel. “Are you kidding me? What is this?”

Turnquist doesn’t quite know how to feel about it. “Get rid of it,” she offers.

Mezydlo wipes the sweat off his brow, and does the only thing that feels right for the occasion — pulls out a White Claw.

“Time for a cocktail,” he says.
