Is Spring Here?

 With blue skies, sunshine, and a high temperature of +7, yesterday was a beauty day. But it didn't help us in our attempt to retain the little bit of snow we still have.

Essentially, we have spring skiing conditions: each morning it's hard, icy and fast; in the afternoons when the temperature rises, we have slow and slushy conditions. And every day, we lose a little bit more snow. It's not my idea of fun.

The weather forecast says this pattern will continue for at least another week. The long range forecast says the temperature will drop to below normal toward the end of the month, with a possible significant snowfall around the 25th. But that's a long way off, and cannot be relied on.
