melting, slowly

The giant slushie that is the city f Portland continues to melt oh-so-slowly.

Today's forecast calls for a high of 47F, and a low of 42F, with lots of rain.
There is still plenty of slushy snow outside on the lawn and in the street. But it's melting. I hope that I might be able to go out on my mountain bike later this afternoon and run a few errands.

By tomorrow evening it should all be over but the shouting. And I hope I'll see some crocuses peeking out when the snow is gone. I'm really ready for spring.
