With all the spring-like weather lately, we still have evidence of winter on our front lawn, which almost never sees direct sunlight thanks to a large pine tree. This has kept the mountain of snow I cleared lately from melting too much, and it is still about four-feet high at its peak. They're calling for bucket loads of rain here today, which will probably remedy this... I can only hope that the combination of runoff and snow melt doesn't end up in our basement.
