Gives an idea how much snow you actually did get..  :)  We've managed to
greatly reduce the amount of snow on the ground... one can even see
grass in a few places...  :)  and the piles around the house and
driveway are definitely shorter... Thankfully the warmth and the
rain/drizzle so far have been just decreasing snow (and ice), not making
more ice...  :)

 MH> I do think it will be all gone minus the large piles sometime this
 MH> weekend. 

The large piles I'm sure will last for quite a while... the semi-large
ones in our church parking lot don't look all that dimished, but I think
that's more a testimony to how really big they got this year...  :)  Now
they look about normal..  ;)

 MH> Earlier this week, I actually smelled spring in the air.

That's not happened here yet... probably not for another month or
more... temps getting into the 50s are mostly just a tease this early
for us..  :)
