    MH> It has warmed up here this past week, too.  In addition, I few days of   
    MH> rain. Even with the rain, temps in the mid to upper 50s, we still have   
    MH> snow on the ground.     
      
   Gives an idea how much snow you actually did get..  :)  We've managed to   
   greatly reduce the amount of snow on the ground... one can even see   
   grass in a few places...  :)  and the piles around the house and   
   driveway are definitely shorter... Thankfully the warmth and the   
   rain/drizzle so far have been just decreasing snow (and ice), not making   
   more ice...  :)   
      
    MH> I do think it will be all gone minus the large piles sometime this   
    MH> weekend.    
      
   The large piles I'm sure will last for quite a while... the semi-large   
   ones in our church parking lot don't look all that dimished, but I think   
   that's more a testimony to how really big they got this year...  :)  Now   
   they look about normal..  ;)   
      
    MH> Earlier this week, I actually smelled spring in the air.   
      
   That's not happened here yet... probably not for another month or   
   more... temps getting into the 50s are mostly just a tease this early   
   for us..  :)

   ... If what you've done is stupid, but it works, it ain't stupid.
