Too much...it's been hard to see around the piles at the end of my driveway...

I know that most here will disagree, but while I am more than happy to see it on the slopes if I didn't have any in my yard that wouldn't bother me at all.

I heard a story from a mother of a new driver who's been in three accidents in two months. Since she couldn't see around the corner due to the large snow piles, rather than creeping out slowly, she guns it and goes. Surprised it took her three smack-ups to conclude that wasn't a bright idea :dunce:

The first patches of bare ground not seen for the past 5+ weeks are just starting to show up. Still about 0-10" in most spots.

about 8 inches left

tough hanging outside right now hearing it melt.....but, I've had snowcover at my place since early December. Both last winter and this, it seems like the snowpack has held for MONTHS during winter. I'm ancy for a storm no doubt, but natural snow cover in New England has RULED since Valentine's day 07. :snow: need some now though.....would bring the stoke WAY UP

my yard is still basically covered but it's down to an inch or two in places.

after this rain, it'll just be where the piles are, I bet

there are puddles under the treehouse where last week there was a foot of white.
It must have rained pretty hard here last night. the screens on the windows are covered with water. And yes, we open the windows in the winter :)

melting fast, a few patches of grass in the backyard. an unfortunate side effect is all of the dogs loads are starting to reveal themselves through the layers of snow. i'm going to have to get out there this weekend and clean some poop.

The snowcover here is variable ranging from bare ground to 6" + of snow. There is alot of surface ice still bonded to the ground in most spots. I am still not able to remove the extension cords from our Christmas decorations because of this ice.

Had 2 ft at my stake before this thaw started. Down to 18 inches this morning (mostly consolidation). As long as the temps stay out of the 40s, I don't see the NEK losing too much more snow before the change over back to cold.

I hate grass and leaves in February.


You should have gotten a cow instead of a dog. Your spring fertilizing would be done now.
