I left my house this AM with maybe a 4 foot diameter 6" maximum depth remnant of a snowpile I built for the kids in my backyard. Unfortunately I bet when I get home tonight it will be gone :(

Had a few inches of wet sloppy stuff on my lawn this morning, expecting to see bare spots when I get home this evening. No big deal.

The snow melt has revealed the major lawn excavation accomplished by a rather inept sidewalk plow and road plow. A minimum of 150-foot by five foot section of lawn has been removed, mulch and lawn plantings have disappeared. In once area there is a three foot high mound of earth where once I mowed. It's going to require some heavy machinery to restore the lawn. A phone call to the DPW is going to be rather interesting....

Also uncovered after snow melt were the beer cans from an teen par-tee behind the school and various auto parts.

I think I'm going skiing.....

In Lake Placid at 2200' we still have about 10-12" but it's going fast. We need a Easter dump. If we go 2' of snow now we could ski until May. Last year I was Mt. biking to the top of Whiteface and skiing down in short and a T-shirt. The backcountry was great also. I XC skied up to Avalanche Pass the beginning of May in shorts. Oh well cant have everything.
