I got up yesterday morning to new 8" drifts in my previously almost snow free yard. I think we got 4 or 5" of new snow and it has snowed off and on since that time.
The Spokane newspaper says that this snow season has had the 5th most snow of any season since they started keeping records around here. The snowpack in the mountains is tremendous at about 125% of the average, which is great for our hydroelectric dams. The ski areas are still open and might well stay open several more weeks.

Yup, I am ready for Spring, or at least Spring-like weather rather than this tail end of Winter hanging on, like it has. Good luck!
