Oh it's finally melting

The back yard's still covered 80% in snow, the front year, 50%. It was suppost to reach 10C (50F) today and it was suppose to rain - it barely drizzled ...

They're still saying it'll reach 14C (57F) tomorrow so I should be seeing a lot more of the 'lawn' soon. Specially since I'll be home 24/7  ;D

10 days ago, it looked like sping would never come. We'd just had ourselves YET another snowfall covering everything. Even the streets weren't yet cleared come morning ...

I'm pleased to report that spring has finally arrived. Just a few days ago I was complaining that snow still covered 40% or the front yard and 80% of the back yard. Well there's still some snow in the back yard but there's nothing left in the front ....
