I'm glad it isn't normal! One of my first two springs did some snowing after I did my sowing ... TWICE! I wound up sowing some thing three times to get one crop.

Not the same thing as Robert Heinlein's novel "The Door Into Summer" which I just re-read. His widow said that he got the idea for the book when their cat demanded to check every door in the house when he had to go outside after an ice storm.
She told Robert that the cat was looking for the door into summer, and he got a thunderstruck look and started typing very fast.
