What a Difference a Day Makes

When I got up Saturday morning and looked out the window, the ground was 90% covered with snow. Saturday just happened to be the vernal equinox, and it was also a relatively warm and bright day. By Saturday evening, I saw only 50% snow. Sunday was also a relatively warm but rainy day, and by Sunday evening I'd estimate there was only 10% snow coverage. The ground was still frozen, so instead of being absorbed, enormous puddles formed everywhere. Rivers literally ran down the edges of the roads. The ground is starting to thaw now, so the water is receding. As long as it doesn't rain too much, things should be okay, just rather muddy.

The drainage projects that we've done and redone around the house seem to be working, so we're not having any problems with flooding.
