| The morning after |
After the snow stopped, the temperature overnight Thursday plunged. It was 2 degrees F when I awoke on Friday morning. But Friday dawned clear, sunny and blue, the temperature recovered to the mid-20s, and the melting began where the sun could reach dark surfaces.

I sure hope this is the end of the very long, cold, snowy winter there. It's picturesque and pretty, but enough is enough!
Beautiful photos, Scott, but Brrrr. You're a good man for worrying about those birds; they're lucky to have you. Here's keeping our fingers crossed that you folks get the much-needed warmup you want.
It's sure pretty. I like getting the rare snow, but I like having it melt after a couple of days, too. We will probably get a few more really cold nights, and it's possible we could even get more snow or an ice storm, but I think winter is pretty much over for us.
Mark, Packrat, and Robin Andrea: We may have turned the corner on winter. It was near 40 degrees F on Saturday, and near 50 on Sunday. Today, we're going to reach the mid-50s--actually ABOVE normal for once. The snow is melting astonishingly quickly in the sun, and the creeks are running high (but not flooding--yet)!
