After a week of sunshine and thaw

The low tonight is still in the teens, but we're reaching right up to 32 during the day, the sun is out, and we started out the week near 50. We're losing snow like crazy and the sidewalks are nearly clear. The pond is still frozen over (THIN ICE!) and the park is still blanketed in white. Hilda loves it. But boy that upstate snow sure is nasty and dirty this time of year, even as it melts.
