Not only have we seen no snow for a week, it's been over 50 degrees Farenheit everyday since Sunday. Winter is over and spring is definately here. So what does this mean?

Pine cones are starting to form on the evergreens which are looking more redish brown everyday. Squirrels can be seen running from tree to tree. The snow is disappearing rapidly. The coverage is horrible in places. It looks like the mountain is coming apart in the places where the weeds and the mud can been in patches. The snow melts in the afternoon and turns to slush and freezes into slick sheets overnight. It makes for challenging ski conditions but my tan looks great.

The forecast is for more hot weather for the next few days, but it's supposed to snow again on my days off, Tuesday and Wendesday. We definitely need it.
