We got up to 35 yesterday! I was able to break up the packed snow on the driveway and scrape it off. Just in time for the next 3-6 inches coming today!

Our snow is mostly gone except some of the shaded areas but it was very warm today. We were able to work in the garden doing some cleanup. Clouded over late afternoon and expecting rain tomorrow. I'll work on cleaning my greenhouse.

We have very warm temps. It rained last night on top of 10 inches of snow and will rain more tonight. So much mud, so little time. LOL.

yikes! Crying We would have been ok if not for the rain because we did not have rain for a while before the snow. They also have us down for a big rain event next week when the north and northeast get pounded by another storm.

We dont have any storms predicted.We are near the Canadian border and I think the storms are due along the coast from NJ to Maine.
Thats not to say we might not any more heavy blizzards because March is usually the end of heavy snow season. We have had 14 inches in March before

They are talking about Maximus and Naika?? I am so confused, I see two different names but they just talk about one storm. Confused

Here is what I keep seeing.

sorry I could not make them bigger, I think I will turn webshots back on for a while and see if I can get any good pics.

Our snow is about 70% gone and I wish it were all gone. I'm so tired of seeing white landscaping.

Our snow is mostly gone too. Evidently storm Maximus was for this weekend but it is a rain event for us and does not start till Monday. Then Nika is for Great Lakes and Northeast and that is for Wednesday? For me, another rain event. Glare

Oh heck to the darn groundhogs. Groundhog saw his shadow so that means six more weeks of winter. Tomorrow here we are supposed to have 5 inches of snow.

I am really ready for spring to start soon but doesn't look like that is gonna happen.

I think we will get 5 inches of rain, just what we don't need. Last week we got 10 inches of snow and we didn't need that either. LOL.
