any is too much for my mental state right now, but we're down to about 4-6 inches on average in the yard. looks like it's all going to be gone by the end of the weekend here, though.

Just a couple. It warmed up for a few days and most of the snow melted.

About 6 inches today. Yesterday was about 10. Before last week I was ready to till and the soil is quite warm for the season, so this should disappear really quick. We're still really happy to have the moisture.

Snow???? That is a distant memory here in my part of Iowa. Was 50 and 60's this week and we had a 73* day 2 weekends ago. Have been tilling for a couple weeks now, things are nice and dry. Rain and a few flurries expected tonight. I am praying for a warm spring and a cool summer like last year. Sorry Mark, but I want the wisconsin summer one more year and then you can have it back!
