Not sure where you're located but none of the snow in my area was gone like that...literally two weeks and still had lots of cover in shade. Shopping store parking lots had 30 foot piles that sat around until late March, pretty nasty looking by then. Had some dumb neighbors who stranded their cars in bus lanes and got towed.
Winter isn't snow, btw...its the most misrepresented season. The so called shortest day is the beginning of winter not the end. Then people want spring whenever they don't get the snow they want. Then when spring hits almost nobody talks about it.
Plus early spring is bugs and mud, nothing growing yet. Stinky too, lol. April is when the growing season hits.
