In addition to bringing standing water, the warmer temperatures and gentle rain have significantly reduced the size of the plowed snow at the end of the driveway. Compared to January 11th’s post, this is a definite improvement.
That’s the good news. The bad news is that since this photo was taken, the weather has once again turned cold. No more melting, and no more open water, at least for the moment. Think warm thoughts!
What a beautiful view – you are so lucky to be able to see it every day

So beautiful! This photo gives me a peaceful feeling.
Enjoy the beauty of winter before spring comes and take over.
I’m thinking, I’m thinking, but we have had rain down here since yesterday!
You know, if i was a Snowman in your garden, I’d start an argument about the word “improvement” with you…
Everyone else in the US is on a diet, why shouldn’t the garden snowman be on one, too?
Umm I wish it was such a weather here in Mumbai
Can u send the snow here please….
Gladly, if only I could!
Have snow; will share.
Have snow; don’t you dare!
Nice to have a warming trend between cold snaps. We’re cold again, too, but the days are longer, and hope of spring is in the air.
I think most of us need to think warm thoughts about now! At least here, although not terribly warm,the sun is strong enough to melt most of our snow in a day or two after it comes.
Wren: Looks like you are fighting those gray skies, it was 5F this morning in Ohio.
I have my fingers crossed for an early spring. Here’s hoping for sunshine and warmer weather.
We are all having bad wethr this year. Trust sunny days are coming your way.
Great winter scene!
Happy weekend.
We’ve had two days of snow blizzards, so your driveway looks pretty good from where I’m sitting! Hope the cold temps don’t mean icy walkways though!
I love all your snowy photos. We don’t see much snow here and i really enjoy seeing your posts. But i don’t know if you enjoy it too because you have to live with that snow every day.
Sorry to hear it’s that cold again!! I was hoping when I first saw your photo that things were really beginning to warm up! But as you said, at least there have been some blue skies! Stay warm and have a great weekend, Wren!

I am glad to see the snow piles go away and I have been thinking warm for awhile now. Happy skywatching!
Nice to see snow piles go down – more room for the next round!

The sky alone does have that cold temp feel to it. Stay warm.
Lovely shot. I’ll send warm vibes out for you although I’m kind of hoping we get the snow they are forecasting for my neck of the woods.
If not, I’ll be happy to share ours …
that’s really an improvement. i hope the weather there gets better really really soon!
Alas, it was back to the 20s today, but at least we had blue skies.
