80% of this morning's snowpack has melted. Sorta puts the snowcrete into perspective. That was a weeks long winter wonderland. Call me crazy, but I'd rather have snow that sticks around for a few weeks than snow that disappears in less than 6 hours.
I don't mind. Getting tired of the awful black sludge on the streets. need a nice good 50F soaker to clean up all this dirty salt. Time to get out and practice Tennis!
I was wondering if we were going to start a tracker for the forum on snowpack. If I had a choice, I would definitely choose a 5 inch snowpack that lasted for weeks with the chance of additional snow cover than a 12 inch storm with a washout in three days followed by 50s. My front yard is facing due north and I have 5 foot ice mounds from the plows which should hang around until March if we don't get a big rainstorm with temps in the 50s.
I have to relocate mine. It's difficult in an urban area to get a good spot far from the heat from the house and out of the sunlight. Thinking about hanging it on the north facing side of the tree int he front yard. But my thermo has been as much as 6 degrees off at times.
I think Michael Jackson edged out Prince. Mike set the standard for all half-time shows. Don't get me wrong, Prince is an awesome guitar player and a masterful composer. However, Mike gave it that wow factor.
