3rd of June. No its not even a meteorology summer here at my place. -5 days in row with a average temp of above +10C.

A word of encouragement, Jonte:
In Canada, we refer to midsommarstång as the Official First Day of Summer, which this year is June 21. So, look at it this way, it is not yet summer, there, and you still have 18 days before Summer begins, perhaps the snow will be gone by then.
Thought I should encourage you, now, because my next post will likely depress you.>:)

The same applies here in the US - summer starts June 21. 
Today, here in the Seattle area, it was about 72°F (22°C) and fairly
cloudy - we had rain yesterday, which has been nice. I want more.

Meteorologists everywhere use June 1st as first day of summer. It could
be said that we did that because we’re lazy and it’s easier to divide
the year into 3-month chunks but it actually makes more sense than
using the astronomical date. For one thing, according to that system
June 21st is the first day of summer this year but next year it’s June
20th. Imagine working up seasonal statistics when the date changes from
year to year.
Also, the warmest part of the year in northern latitudes occurs on
about July 20th (coldest is around Jan 20th) which balances better with
summer starting at the beginning of June.
Here in the UK, you might argue for June 21st as Midsummer’s day is June
24th which implies the last day of summer would be June 27th. Summer
only lasting a week sometimes seems the norm here.

I see 26°C (south east coast of Spain), and 32°C in Ottawa, which is
surprising. They must have a spell, because it is about 7 AM. Must be an
error, or somebody light a fire near the thermometer housing.

Climate is what you expect; weather is what you get. Colorado FINALLY got
seasonal temperatures after a Spring that looked more like Seattle than
Colorado Springs - wet and cold. May was the wettest month on record here -
any month.
We did get variety, tho. One day saw snow, rain and hail - all three - with
blizzard conditions 20 miles of so to the west in the mountains, heavy rain
overhead, and tornadoes on the ground 20 miles south of me - all at the same
time. Makes me glad I chose engineering over meteorology for a career.
It’s been chillier here than usual for this time the year. Daytime temps been around upper 50’s to 60’s and nighttime in the 40s. It isn’t bad (actually, I kinda like it) but it is cool for this area at this time to the year.
At lest today we have sun, when the last 2 days was cloudy and raining.
I am hoping that it warms up some before the end of this month because will be doing canoeing and camping and I want it warm and the water to be comfortably cool… not frigid!!

Not really. Climate is long-term trends. Weather is short term.

My employer’s headquarters is in Denver, and yeah, the engineers I work
with who are based there (as opposed to the ones who are a few hours
north of me in Vancouver) said that they’ve been getting absolutely
soaked. My new boss - who is based in Denver, but went to school at UW,
said that the weather there reminded her of her time in Seattle.

Me too. I took some meteorology courses in college (mandatory for the
degree programs I went through - aeronautical engineering -> aviation
computer science), and it looked interesting, but not interesting enough
to pursue long-term.

Interesting, where did you got the expression/experience of "midsommarstång"?
Attach a small picture of above from surrandings here.
http://www.jodo.nu/pic/pic2/midsommar-stang.jpg
If it wasn’t enough whit this Carlos from Spain (one of my favourite places), Now there are two of them, Teasing. The day before yesterday about 200Km north of here it was … Where people was trapped in a snow blizzard.
On the other hand, Who needs to sleep? No we don’t have midnight sun but its only dark(not dark but dusk) about 1.5 hours a day now.
regards
We had 29.5C aka 85.1F today.
… now that sounds like Calgary, Alberta: I left there almost 5 years ago after a long stint.lol!

I consider my undergraduate time at the Air Force Academy as more “general
engineering” than anything else. Pilot training then flying assignments
were where I really learned to appreciate meteorology. When your fanny is
tied closely to it the subject matter really gets your attention
My academic ventures ended in 1976 when I left the Air Force after tours at
grad school and the Academy faculty so much of my formal education is, to
say the least, dated. Vacuum tubes and analog computers are a bit out of
the mainstream nowadays…

When I told my headmaster (way back in 1962) that I wanted to join the
Met Office, he said, “there aren’t many professions worse paid than
teaching but you’ve managed to find one!”
At an appointment with my dentist soon afterwards, his comment was, “so
you’re going to join the duff-gen merchants!” He’d been with the RAF
in Canada and told me how, at one briefing for night-flying, they’d
been told it would be a fine night with no problems. At the end of
the briefing, they left the hut and stepped out into a raging blizzard.
There were some occasions when I was a forecaster that I’d admit that
I’d got a forecast wrong, i.e I’d missed something, but often I’d say
“no, my forecast was right; it was the weather that was wrong!” For instance, one day I forecast low cloud to clear at 1630 as a front
went through. The front went through, wind veered to a direction that
sheltered us from low cloud but the low cloud stuck. It had already
cleared from upwind stations and later on, we were the only airfield
in the UK with any cloud below 1500ft. We kept the darn stuff at 100ft
all night. Times like that, you begin to suspect malign influences at
work.

Ha
I prefer green to the yellows. Landscapes with green grass and trees,
springs, a bit of snow in its due time. My part of Spain is too dry. And
too hot weather is coming by, in just few weeks.
Don’t we all like what we don’t have?

Attach a picture of today’s ((June 15) Snö=Snow) weather forecast. What? Meteorological summer in my parts of the world? On the other hand I do not like midsummer. For me its a /break, -road down to darkness all the way to December.
