This is the first real snowmelt we've had this winter... some snow has melted before, and temperatures have been above freezing, but never for very long, and it wasn't near 50 degrees... it was last weekend. And a lot of snow melted in areas that get sun... but this is New England, so I know that probably this week it'll drop under freezing again, and it could snow anytime until mid May...
