I cannot imagine dealing with this amount of snow.

We've had a week of plus temperatures and a mix of bright sunshine and pouring rain. The snow is going fast but you don't get rid of that much snow overnight, particularly when the bottom six inches are solid ice.

A few more days of this should do the trick.

And the maple out front is budding. Based on past experience, that thing can go from bud to full-leaf in about 30 seconds.

Ms Howe might enjoy a mammoth hoster sprout being waved.

Her hostas may also be quite erect.

Yes, even in the hurling down rain...it's here...Spring is getting ready Adieu to desolation for the next six months

No flowers here yet but the backyard is now 50% mud and 50% snow. Youngest daughter was happily playing in her newly exposed sandbox yesterday. Well, I say sandbox, but in reality mud box as the cover was blown off at some point during the winter. I think an investment in some new play sand is in order but I'll wait a few weeks to do that.
