Not quite spring yet

It was a very frigid -9F this morning but it's still spring and the sun looks warm at least.  In the meantime I took a few pictures around the house and neighborhood yesterday to document the season.

Here's the pile of snow the city has dumped next to the ice rink a block from our house, with Missy grudgingly posing in front of it to give an idea of its size.












I finally got around to shoveling the back deck yesterday, and the drifts were deep.  Very deep.  Ridiculously deep. 

















Even out in the open where there's no appreciable drifting of snow it's deep.  Fifteen inches worth of snow still to melt before it's really spring.
