Technically, that was yesterday at this latitude. We went over 12 hours of daylight on the 19th, but it's today for those of you in the sunny south. (Pretty much everything is south of us, like British Columbia, etc.)
We've had subzero mornings this week, although it was 3° above this morning. Older Daughter just had to dig a hole down to the top of our 24"-deep firepit, to burn some cardboard.
Let's just say that "Spring" is going to be a bit longer in coming. Break-up, as it's called up here, is the ugliest season of the year ... if you're in a city. Lots of potholes, large lakes of black water comprised of snow-melt brine, cinders and gravel, and other miscellaneous road debris. The roads are a mess, and intersections, where they've been "cleared", appear to have been done so by a Zamboni. Don't even think about trying to stop, unless you begin that process a half-block in advance.
Various intersections and parking lots will have standing blackwater for up to several weeks, depending on how high the surrounding snow piles are.
So, for now, we're okay with 30" of snow on the ground. Snow beats mud, bare dirt, and dead grass, every time.
