    Yea
    Had the exact same in January.
    YUK! is right.
    I had pumps pumping water out of the yard

    The melt pushed the frost deeper. Ice everywhere.
    Makes for a cold slow break-up & Spring, late for garden soil to warm up too.

    Get a couple pair of ice cleats & some sand, before they run out ;) Gonna be a slippery mess !

    Yeah, it's supposed to rain here Friday, on top of a lot of snow. Will be doing my best to get snow off the roofs. I've noticed it's easier to move/re-move snow with equipment vs … me n a shovel… ;) … still, it's mighty perty… :whistle:

    I think you're right . LOL
    1st time I've measured snow on the deck this year, 1-3/4" but not sure the ruler was calibrated so
    gave it some wiggly room in case I was wrong. When you have none, an extra 1/4" is critical

    Drove to Anchorage today, seemed like they got more there. (didn't measure it though )

    Either way, glad to get it :)

    This winter I am really glad I decided to go with a steep pitched roof, large overhang, no gutters, double row of perforated building drains. Dry basement, no issues with the roof.

    Cover the grass, oh no! I want my view of the grass back. everything I look at is either white, or dirty white. I need sunglasses to be able to open my eyes. (unless it getting a fresh coating of white again.

    The sun glasses were needed yesterday & today.
    Fresh white snow covered ground really reflects the light.
    Almost blinding , but a sure sign of Spring getting close :)

    Low teens at night, near 30° days & sunny is the forecast for a week.
    Sun glasses for sure :)
