Meltiiiiiiiing...

Can it be ... spring? The snow is vanishing fast (although it's supposed to snow again this weekend. NOOOOOOOOOO). There's still up to 1-2 feet of snow in sheltered places, but the driveway is mostly bare, and the creek is flowing on top of the ice. I keep taking pictures and then forgetting to post them, but I'm sure you all know what melting snow looks like.

Oh. That's a lot of snow still around. And more of it to come? Um. I'm rather grateful that we're all out of snow here - it's spring, finally real spring! Will you get an explosion of spring as soon as the snow is gone, or will it take another couple of weeks for everything to catch up?

Well, the way it usually works is that after the snow goes, there are a couple of weeks that are very brown and gray. Then near the end of May, everything goes nuts -- the trees turn green overnight, flowers start to bloom, and we explode from spring into full-on summer in just a couple of weeks. Sadly, the same happens in reverse in the fall.
