Thaw and Freeze

After my complaints about the weather earlier in the week, I should note that the actual pattern hasn't been that bad. Each day it's been very cold in the morning but has warmed up in the afternoons. Our snowdrifts are steadily being eaten away. Huge puddles in the streets and sidewalks, of course. Enough so that we could probably use a few overcast days to let the waters recede a bit. But I won't complain.
Today it was nice enough that we even had the porch open for a bit. We don't quite have bits of grass poking out yet but it feels hopeful. We might actually see the end of this long winter. Oh, I'm sure that March will bring some more snow. It's temporary though. The stuff that falls in November can last a good five months; anything that comes down now will have a few weeks at best.
And good riddance!
