There's still a lot of snow, dirty ice, salt, and grime, but it's a sunny afternoon, and people are out with their faces up to the sun

Saw the first green shoots in the south-facing yard today #phenology

Genuinely sooner than I expected, I thought this was covered with snowpack yesterday, but maybe not?

One of the cars that's been parked on our street and not moved since The Snow has now moved :o

I have removed the last of the ground-mounted Yulefest lights (though not their support posts, for now still frozen in the ground) just in time for the return of dark and snowy weather

As of today, for the first time in about two months, our front yard has no snow or ice
