Going, going, gone...

During our January thaw... (before the next two feet of snow fell). On March 12, the snow bridge is still holding on, despite temperatures in the 40's, and a lot of melting going on!
March 13--51 degrees! The first time we've been THAT warm since before Thanksgiving. And see, the ice is receding out of the street. About a week ago I was finally able to walk the dog all the way to the top of the street.
Of course I had to walk in the middle of the street--there was about a 3-foot wide area of concrete showing without any ice. Each day the glaciers at the roadsides have receded a few inches and our streets are getting wider! (In some places it is actually 2 lanes again).
However, the neighborhood sidewalks are still not traversible--some are cleared off, but it seems like the neighbors just gave up for the last couple of snow storms. I guess they figure that since it is March, sooner or later it will melt anyway.

    Wow! I'm amazed at the second picture of the ice bridge. It looks big enough to sneak through!
