spring appears to be happening this year

Snow has been melting rapidly for the past few days, although today's temperature isn't expected to get above freezing. The car is basically free of snow, I think, although I haven't actually tried moving it. The front yard and the sub-lawns are still snow-covered, but only a foot or less deep in most places. A week from now it's supposed to be in the 60's °F. I haven't seen any crocuses or snowdrops yet, but I think it's actually happening.
