Well, truth be told some of our bare spots out in the field are really just where we dumped horse manure. Some of the snow had covered it up earlier and its showing up now.

The exciting news for me is that a few of the solar panels, which have been operational for a few weeks now, have finally cleared enough that some of them are actually producing power!
Ha! Truth be told, the bare spots in our back yard were spots that places that I had partially shoveled because our poor dog didn't have a place to s**t because the snow was too deep.Well, truth be told some of our bare spots out in the field are really just where we dumped horse manure.

Then I could join the hoards of people posting pics of their dog going out in a blizzard to do their business

Give it time; AccuWeather will soon succumb once they're bought up by one of the big six (if they aren't already).

I have heard a few reports of robins around here as well.
Lot of melt here today. had to go out and stomp a trench through a ditch so that water could move through it, help move it away from the barn so it doesn't flood the barn. It was pretty cool to see it when I had gotten it cleared out and it opened up, just had a huge rush of water heading downhill in a hurry.
that or be complaining about having to pick up a winter's worth of doggy bombs out of the yard.Then I could join the hoards of people posting pics of their dog going out in a blizzard to do their business

Monday, yesterday, this morning, I heard a wonderful sound: the sound of water running through the downspouts!
Reminds me of one of the most joyous scenes in literature: in The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, when the children first arrive in Narnia, it is "always winter and never Christmas." Then, it starts to thaw as spring is finally coming. Those two pages or so of description of winter transitioning to spring are really wonderful.

Just the opposite in New England. Even after several days of temperatures above 0[SUP]o[/SUP] C / 32[SUP]o[/SUP] F, we still have substantial snow cover, it takes awhile for that much to melt. It is unusual to have any snow on the ground in mid-March here.
Very interesting to notice that, in the driveway at least, the snow appears to be melting from the bottom up instead of from the top down. Stuff laying on top of the snow is not sinking into it; instead, the entire level of the snow is just getting lower and lower as the melt water runs downhill underneath it.

Greetings from Lake Placid! Got to take the company jet here. That's always fun. Quick flight. They have less snow here than I do at home. One of the events was supposed to be an exhibition of ski joking and there was too much snow melt here do that's not going to happen. Ironic.

Ya, that area got really shafted on the snow totals this year. I lived in the lowlands NW of there (and spent most of the winter there, ironically), and we had more snow than some areas of the mountains did.
Instead, it was just very, very cold.
