Restarting winter or awaiting spring?

A snow squall came through overnight, leaving a half-inch of fresh powder, smoothing everything to a bright white. By mid-day, even though the temperatures are still in the teens, the sun has melted some of the snow. We're in that crossover time. The weather can still bring cold and snow, but the sun is getting high and strong. There is a lot of cold air banked up in Canada and more snow is in the forecast for a couple of days out.

Some readers have noted that I've not written much, that posts of late have been collections of links about depression or brief notes about music. Yup. The words are there and I'll get them going again. Thanks for your patience.
