For the last 2 months there's been a huge mound of ice and snow at the end of our drive way. It was at least 8 inches high and in some parts as much as 3 feet wide. It is where Mr. Incredible got too worn out to keep shoveling and the snow plow piled it up higher. Every time I drove in or out of the drive way the car would have to go over it. Bump, bump, thump. Don't be taking a sip of your coffee at the time or you'd be wearing it. I couldn't even hold my arm steady enough to push the garage door opener button while going over it.
And the ice mound extended to in front of the mail box. I had to climb the snow mount every day to get to the mail box. I had to walk across the ice mound to get there, then climb up the pile to reach the box. I kept thinking I was going to fall and slide out into the street right under the wheels of a passing delivery truck.
But yesterday it finally melted! I don't have to wear boots to get the mail anymore! I can drive out without a huge thump (well, unless I hit a neighbor kid who are now all out on the sidewalk again).
I'm free! I'm free! Spring is almost sprung!!

Hooray!
Yippee! I can feel your sense of celebration.
We had 7 inches of snow last Saturday. The one and only accumulating snow of the season.
Yesterday I noticed one little dirty patch of snow left behind the mailbox, about enough to make one snowball.
Yayyyy!
When I lived in Massachusetts, I wondered if spring would ever come. But I loved the winters up there (back home).
However, down here, everything is budding! I'd trade Delaware to go back home any day, though, despite the longer winters.
Like you, I am cheering for spring.
Sunny and 70 yesterday.
50 and rainy today.
It's been in the 90's for the past few days. When it gets that hot this early, we know we're in for a long hot summer.
*SIGH*
Can I have a piece of ice, pretty please?
I am plugging my ears and singing really really loud" I can't hear you, I can't hear you...lalalalalalalaa"
Cause it's snowing here. right now. I want spring. I posted about spring yesterday and nature has mocked me.
