Better Get That Lawn Mower Ready
Lincoln’s snow is officially down to a “trace”—and surely it’ll be all gone by the end of the day. It’s a bittersweet milestone. Sure spring is great, but the snow has been around for a whopping 85 consecutive days. Build a couple big hills and we could have hosted the Winter Olympics.
Of course we all know that the snow isn’t gone in Lincoln. We accumulated some pretty nice piles over the past three months. I wonder when all the snow will actually be all gone? Heck, with a little cooperation from March we could even make it into April. Yeah, probably not.
I wonder what this spring has in store for us. Last summer was the Summer Without Summer; this winter was Winter Without Warmth. Any guesses for what comes next?

I was just thinking how winter was a good length this year. Sure, December was hell, but November was nice, and March is shaping up to be pretty good too. So, December - January - Feb = winter this year. Better than some winters, which seem to start in October and last through March.

There’s a 50 foot long by 12 foot high pile of snow in a parking lot between K and L that would like odds on the snow being gone by this afternoon.

This might mean that our Christmas lights are FINALLY coming down this weekend!
