Winter Wrapup

Drained the gas from the snow blower. Took off the snow tires. Turned off the furnace. Put the shovels away. Someone at work bet me that winter was most sincerely and truly over and there would be no more snow. I took him up, as if I lose, we win.
A few things of note. The ice cleared from the lake on April 4th. With it icing up on Nov 25th, we had an amazing 4+ months of ice cover! It was a long winter, as the rabbits and field mice ate things they normally wouldn't: the bark off bushes - even the very spiky blackberry canes. Beyond that, with the heavy snow over this winter, most things appear to have survived quite well.
