I've experienced White Christmas, New Years and Valentine's Day for sure... Thanksgiving no because Canadian Thanksgiving is right now actually and I've never had snow this early before... Halloween and Easter possibly as a kid but don't remember and definitely not May Day.
White Halloween in Montreal.
Very rare but I do remember trick or treating one year with snow on the ground
White Thanksgiving, even though we celebrate in October in Canada,
it was a freak snowfall in Montreal, just a dusting but it was white (and cold slightly above freezing).
White Easter, easily in years when it's in March, early April too.
White Christmas, not every year where I live now but in Montreal it was
almost guaranteed, very few "green" ones.
White New Year's, same as for Christmas.
White Valentine`s Day ....ditto
White May Day, that's extremely rare, even in Montreal.
I remember snow flakes walking to school in May but melting as they hit the ground
Christmas, New Year's, and Valentine's are pretty much always white out here (last year's record setting warm winter was an exception).
Snow on Halloween is fairly rare, but belowing freezing lows are definitely normal by then so it can happen, I remember seeing it once or twice as a kid (don't know if it accumulated enough to count). We don't usually get snow in time for Canadian Thanksgiving (2nd Monday of October). We did get a huge dump of snow Thanksgiving weekend 1998 but other than that I don't remember seeing snow that early. American Thanksgiving is right around the time that the first permanent snowfall hits us out here, so that's usually white most years I think.
As for Easter and May Day it's very rare to have any accumulated snow on the ground by that point, but I've seen snowfall around those times of the year. I don't know whether it was on those specific holidays and I don't think it added up to an inch on the ground but I've definitely seen it snow around those holidays.
All of them, even in a single year if it's colder than average. A white May Day is rare though.
A white May Day in Estonia with at least 2.5cm of snow on the ground? If you are born in the 40s or have experienced it somewhere else, then I believe you.
I haven't experienced a May Day with accumulation, sleet at least once. Probably all the others. Wait, no, I haven't experienced ANY kind of Halloweens and Thanksgivings!
