Spring Has Sprung...

This has been kind of an odd winter, with lots of snow storms followed by large temperature swings. The latest was the record breaking dump of snow noted in the previous post. That was followed by a week of twenty below, which broke the all time record low at the airport on two consecutive days, then a week of fifty to sixty above. 

Here's the driveway almost clear two weeks after the record snowfall and cold of early April; contrast this to the photo in the previous post (More Snow... 4/6/21).

The road at the dog trail crossing; compare it to the photo on the New Years Eve post. The neighbor borrowed a Bobcat and cleared off the hard pack, now it's great for driving, but not so much for dog sleds and snow machines.

The monthly summaries by the NWS showed above normal temps in December (+4.3°) and January (+6.4°), while February (-7.9°) and March (-5.5°) were below. Snowfall was the opposite, below average early on and above average in the latter months. Total snowfall for the winter, so far, has been 92 inches (that'd be 2.34 meters to the French).
