Winter?
What winter?
This year, winter in southern New England has been the mildest I can recall in my 61 orbits around the Sun.
Not much snow at all lately: 3 inches on February 24, 2 inches on February 29 for a grand total of 14 inches for the season on Compounce Mountain. And when it falls, it is all gone in a day or two thanks to rain and/or warm temperatures.
Speaking of temperatures, today, the high was 57 degrees F and tomorrow, it is supposed to be warmer.
And I saw my first groundhog today. Last year, my brown furry friends didn't come out of hibernation until March 17, ten days later than this year.
Smells like global warming!

Snow Summary
This was the worst winter I ever experienced in my six decades of existence.
I measured 70 inches of snow this winter on Compounce Mountain. The last of the snow on the roof of the house disappeared on Monday, March 7, but the yard is still full of snow. There are many bare spots in the yard, but there are also many places where the snow is still one to three feet deep!
Meanwhile, skunk cabbage shoots have broken through the ground in spots where there is no snow.
