Just a quick note to observe that today is the day that the huge pile of snow beside our parking lot where they piled the snow all winter is finally gone! I honestly had given up hope of it melting before July.
My understanding is that we are a mere three inches from the all-time record for snowfall in Des Moines! The only article I could find doesn’t have the latest snowfall factored in, so my numbers are basically just an estimate. On the other hand we are less than ten inches away from the all time record, and I think that counts enough that we can say it’s been a long cold snowy winter.
Here is to sunshine and green grass!
