For the last two weeks or so, we've had some sun-power that has reduced the volume of snow. And today, a light rain tamped it down more. Cars are emerging, like the window now visible above. This snow fell in mid-December. A few weeks ago, a loader worked all day to widen this road so people could park on both sides. (It's still just one-lane wide, which is confusing, since there's no agreement about which way people should drive!) At the time, we wondered how the loader driver knew where the buried cars were. Did they tear off any bumpers?
All our playgrounds are buried up to the swing seats. Those are the backs of the wooden swings you see. Most have been dug out so that kids can still swing...
My favorite vision of our snowpack. That's the top of a bench sticking out on the left side of the path. The weirdest thing is that the packed down paths are the same level as the surrounding snow. But it's like a swamp. If you step off the path, you're up to your knees (or worse).
