Spring Snow II

It snowed overnight with a 1- to 2-inch accumulation on the ground and roads. That adds up to 74 inches total snowfall since the first day of winter!

Enough already!

Spring Snow

First full day of spring yesterday and it snowed, sleeted, and rained most of the day with a 1- to 2-inch accumulation of snow on the ground, but not the roads.

The weather guys promised more of the same tomorrow.

Springing

Saw my first groundhog of the year today (see photo) during my daily walk around the business park here in Wallingford where I work.

Also, the daily Waterbury rag reported yesterday that black bear #49 is out and about in Wolcott, so I took in my bird feeder and suet cage last night to avoid any close encounters between #49 and The Pies.

By the way, there still is some snow in my yard.

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.
