As of last night! I can check out all directions in my yard today and it has finally all melted. Some years I make it until May First, but not his year. The last hold out is the piles along the driveway under the trees. The way the sun tracks in the winter and early spring, sunlight there is minimal and the packed snow is slow to melt.
Do you live on a mountain? A mountain on the north pole? A mountain on the north pole in Antarctica?
In the woods of Southern New Hampshire.
That’s certainly closer than I had imagined. :smack:
A week ago I looked outside and all the snow was gone. The sun was shining and there wasn’t a cloud in the sky. The trees were sprouting leaves and the grass was turning the brown and lifeless earth into a living emerald carpet. The birds were chirping and the squirrels were running this way and that. I thought to myself, ‘The world lives again! With this rebirth I am sure that all problems are behind us.’
Then I saw a big ugly wasp caught between the window and the screen and remembered how the world works.
Well, at least the days of shoveling are behind us and we can relax in the sun.
Haven’t had to use 4x4 to get up our driveway in 5 days. It’s a muddy mess, but the snow is leaving. The ‘yard’ is still ass deep in places, but the driveway is clear…
For now. May can bring a LOT of snow.
11,200 feet elevation.
We are taking a flight out of Denver for Key West on Sunday morning 12:05 am. Winters are long, and hope we don’t come back to more snow.
I proclaimed Chez Piper snow-free a week ago.
Then on Easter we had snow on and off all day.
Congratulations! Play this loudly to celebrate:
Josh Ritter - One of my favorites.We lost the snow several weeks at our house but our friends live just a couple hundred feet higher in the nearby “mountain” and they still have snow. It’s going quickly though. Mountain biking season is upon us!
You all suck. The snow was gone; Gone! Then Good Friday gave us 30+ cm more! I spent 2.5 hrs shoveling wet, heavy East Coast snow out of my driveway and off the roof instead of the nice , light fluffy stuff we normally get. My Commencal (Although mine has a Brody Unibomber rigid fork) sits forlornly in the garage waiting to see the trails and my daily commute and my %^!&^! snow tires are still on the cars for another week or two.
As of yesterday, there was still one small patch of ice on my front lawn, but I’ll bet it is all gone by now. As far as I could tell, it was the only patch on our block (it was under a tree), but the overnight low was 7 and that would have done. When my daughter and family arrived 6 days, there was still a substantial pile on my and other lawns where the town blows snow after clearing the streets and sidewalks.
What is this . . . snow? of which you speak?
More seriously, we are in the ramp-up to our unpleasant time of the year; 93-degrees predicted for today. I just tell people, “You don’t have to shovel 110.”
We are ramping up as well. Might hit 60 today!
Snow’s been gone for like a month now but the lake is still frozen. Not that I would go for a swim quite yet even if it wasn’t, but I like open water more than grey ice.
After the snow melts we get out unpleasant time - Black Fly season. And if that’s not enough, I head to camp in Maine for an even worse (and longer lasting )black fly season.
More snow tonight. Just a light wet, dusting of snow … but snow.
I skied 25k vert yesterday!
All the snow is gone from my front yard finally, (it was about 3.5 ft thick only a month ago), but there is still plenty of it in my back yard. So, the snow is not quite gone here unfortunately. The weather is nice though!
Woke up. Not just a light dusting. Wet snow everywhere.
Ouch, you can have it. Hopefully our snow is gone until fall. We are actually seeing things start to sprout.
It’s snowing Tahoe as I type this.
