So far this potential arctic blast looking like a backdoor event where we get cold but dry. Plenty of time to change that and hopefully it does.

Surprising resilience. Snow cover has lasted 8+ days now, but likely won't survive the overnight rain.

Wow! That's still a lot of snow. Sounds like it might melt, just in time for our next snowfall. :clap:
