Still winter

As much as the lingering sunlight in the evening tells us it's Spring, the feet and feet of snow on the ground remind us it's very much still winter.

We saw a patch of our actual driveway this week. This very slow gradual melting has caused us a few problems. The ground is hard enough that the dogs can now stand on the top of the snowbanks and launch themselves over the fence.

The 2 feet of snow above our mudroom roof is melting and dripping into the mudroom. This was fixed quickly by removing snow on the roof.

We are all starting to get antsy to see the sun and feel it's warmth. The thought of sitting on the porch sipping coffee in the morning fills me with so much anticipation. It will need to be at least 20 degrees warmer for that to happen.
