Your dog clearly was happier last week when there was snow.

So much water in the yard the last day or so. A good waterfall coming down the retaining wall too. I spent most of yesterday afternoon shovelling/pushing water onto the paver drive as it was backing up into the garage. Fortunately around dinner it started draining on its own before the rain hit.

The downside to a snow pack here which is 15 weeks old is that it includes the remnants of 15 weeks of dog poo. With every melt day it just reveals more and more. What truly amazed me is how much dog hair is frozen to the glacier in my lower back yard. How two labradors can shed this much hair is beyond me!

Actually I would give it a 7 or 8 so far. Need to see how the next 5 or 6 weeks go.

We got an inch as well. Just enough to freshen the look of things.

I had the "joy" of driving through that. There was an incredibly heavy batch between Waterbury Center and 89 and then very heavy on 89 from Waterbury to between Middlesex and Montpelier. Multiple cars off of 89. There was a mercifully short stretch on 100 where I could not make out the tracks made by a pickup which was less than 100 yards ahead of me.

Here you go: Locked! Big big winter incoming! Lollies! Makes its own cold! Blizzardcane!

Won't be sitting around the firepit soon

I remember a night in 97 after there had been a wide tornado outbreak in the Midwest and we had thunderstorms forecast. You so often hear tornado survivors describing hearing a roar like a freight train preceding the impact. I was watching tv that night and heard that roar. I remember thinking "Oh crap a tornado does sound like a train" For the last 28 years it amazes me that for even just the two seconds it took me to remember, that I had forgotten that my apartment was 25 yards from an active train line.

That shouldn't stop them. Dinner Pancakes FTW!

With placemats like those, I like the odds that that restaurant serves pancakes

Back to snow here after a couple of hour long, heat exhaustion causing jump into the mid-40s

1.2" overnight to start March off right, over 80" on the season now Big big winter incoming!

We ended up with 4 inches here at the house.
