Snow records

Done for now.

The 14.9 inches of snow since Friday is the all time record for largest single snow fall in the month of April

The total for April to date of 25.2 inches is also a new record.

And the total snowfall since January 1 of 70.3 inches is a record for snowfall to start a calendar year.  Here is a final look at the deck this morning with the skies finally having turned to blue.

Here is a look out the kitchen window at the weird snow overhang. 

That patch of snow hung on until about 4:48pm.  I was in the garage heading out to do an important errand when I heard the resounding *thump* indicating that gravity had prevailed yet again.

The important errand I was headed out for was related to the extremely important task that I had running in the background throughout all of the snow removal activities.

Taxes.  I pay on line but I file paper forms.

It was all completed today.  I just got back from dropping those two envelopes off at the local post office branch.  Mailed today will be postmarked tomorrow.

The weather forecast indicates possibility of 1 to 3 inches more of snow for Wednesday.  Based on how quickly the 15 inches we just got dumped with is receding from plowed surfaces I believe that if we somehow dodge that bit on Wednesday that bicycling may be possible by the end of the week.
