Backyard with Snow (taken yesterday)

Same View in Spring (taken April 19, 2006)

We had a huge snowstorm this weekend. The first photo is our backyard as it looks right now. The second photo is what I'm waiting (desperately) for.
By the way, all this snow is completely out of character for the area I live. Yes, we get snow, but we usually get thaws in between snowstorms, so that by the time March rolls around there might be one last blast of winter, but it doesn't last and it feels more like the empty threat of a defeated champion than the promise of a strong contender.
This feels like winter still has more fight left. I hope that's not true and that warmer weather is on the way.
It will be a mushy spring, though, from the looks of things.
