One thing that really stands out right now - in mid March, it's either ripping or dripping. If this was January, I'd have a few inches on the ground that would be slowly building with the light snow. Now, it has to be at least moderate to heavy to accumulate. If not, we drip. I'm at 28.4 degrees currently - I was just outside and it sounded like a shower running in front of the house. I will no shoveling to do - all paved surfaces are wet, and most of the snow that was on the cars is gone.
