Ten days ago, as you may recall, I had shovelled a niche for the kids; it was tough work because the snow was ,ore like ice. But, what a difference ten days makes! That's the time difference between the two photos that are taken from a fairly similar spot although the first is vertical and the second is horizontal (note the same car in the background of both photos). This rapid change surprises me, at least a little every year, particularly this year when we had quite a bit of snow to lose plus the fact that it hasn't been that warm yet. Even when the temperatures have climbed a little, it's been blasted windy, so it has seemed quite cold. We did have a good rain or two. however.
Anyway, a lot of progress has been made, and I begin to regret the fact that I didn't clean the garden very well before winter overtook us. However, I plead for some understanding as winter came on early and quickly last fall.
hooray for melting!!
ReplyDeleteFinally!! So glad the meltdown took place. :)
ReplyDeleteShow off! ;) Actually, it's finally begun melting here too. But we still have pretty big snow banks.
ReplyDeleteWell, that was some serious catch-up I had to do! Loved the post about the hockey-game and am glad for you that your team won! Hopefully they will go on to more wins.
ReplyDeleteAnd that snow? Wow, I can't imagine it melting so fast if the temperatures aren't that high.
I am off to the snow today. Hopefully, since it's bucketing down where I live!
A similar story here. Amazingly, considering all the snow we had, the ground is quite dry...
ReplyDeleteI vaguely remember that white stuff and do not want to see it for some time. Actually yesterday the afternoon got quite warm here!
ReplyDeleteI agree with troutbirder. All that snow and still the soil seems dry. Colleen says it didn't melt, it "evaporated." Is this possible, scientifically?? It might interest you to know, John, that some fields are flooded in sw Ontario.
ReplyDeleteThat snow pic is enough to shiver anybody's timbers!
