Getting there

After a couple of days above freezing, we are making some progress with the snow melt. The actual driveway is showing…

I might see the walk to the garage soon. I suppose I’m paying more attention to the melting as I keep looking at the huge mounds of snow from the roof shoveling and driveway plowing and wondering exactly how long it will take for them to go away. But finding it interesting that they “shrink” from underneath and seem to take on a bit of hollowness. I’m sure there is a physics type explanation…but I remember from years past that they will shrink fairly rapidly until they get to a last little bit which then seems to take forever to disappear.

The sun fought to make an appearance yesterday and on last evening’s walk even found a few holes to shine through, lighting the mountain tops briefly.

At the north end of the range, snow squalls moved over the mountains and partway down to the lower foothills.

It is still technically Winter for a few more days, but Spring is trying – we are getting there!
