Heavy rain overnight, and thunder! There's still snow that persists this morning, though it has retracted further. This last bit is pretty resilient.

Garden beds are visible and the pond is still there.

The snowdrops are in full bloom and the crocuses are coming up. One or two showing buds. Might even open today.

The snow bank melted and uncovered the already blooming snowdrops a week or two ago. Then it snowed/sleeted all over them, and the snow melted away from the snowdrops again earlier this week. Kinda neat.

@bjb Wow they're going already? I was just out and saw a few things poking through, but looks like tulips just breaking ground.

Eager for the crocuses, as we haven't had any here, and I missed having them last year.

Just about every year, they bloom under the snowbank and are caught in flagrante delicto by the snowbank melting and revealing the blooms.

@bjb fun. No waiting.
