Except at the top of the peaks where nobody lives, all the snow has melted and none forecasted for the near future. Just rain with highs in the 50's to low 60's.

Looking like some ski slopes won't even open this year.

Oh they put in a snow flake for next Tuesday, but also say its going to be 10C with a low of 5C so not sure snow will actually come.

Not that we get a ton of snow here, but usually get more then 1 day of snow.

Tree's are starting to bud, so should start seeing some blooms in the next month.

The next 7 days for here.

7 to 11 Celsius for the high, and rain is expected every day.

I've stopped wearing my jacket and have brought the fans out.

3rd winter in a row without an actual winter. It's just gone spring-summer-spring.

Stop it. Those of us with snow and ice everywhere are feeling bad.

Ladybirds are out now.

Ridiculous.

Yikes! Our air temperature's so far not gone much below 0F, but the windchill factor brings it way down below when the bl@@dy wind kicks up... We had flurries much of the afternoon yesterday, and more on the way next week.

We still have piles of snow galore, though they shrink a bit with each sunny day. The ice rink that was the end of our driveway is now only a small patch of ice, and the mountains of snow making many intersections dangerous have contracted a bit so folks in taller SUVs can now see over them. (I'm in a modest-sized Suburu, so I still can't see what's bearing down on me very well.)

Luckily our local bike trail has melted enough so that the cyclists & pedestrians don't absolutely have to share the snow-narrowed streets with slush-hurling vehicles. But you still endanger life & limb no matter how you travel out there....

More snow coming today... Estimates of accumulations range from 1-3, 3-6, 4-8 inches depending on which weather site you trust.

Fun, fun....




Modified to add: Oh and we still have the two feet plus that can't seem to melt.

There's still ploughed snow at the side of the road in 18" lumps and balls, four days after it fell, which is extraordinary here. Today it is cold and damp, with more snow and ice forecast later today.

We have had a ton of snow. If you have a snowblower I highly recommend adding an impeller kit, it will turn it into a beast.
