davis_squareThere has been discussion in my home as I'm sure in many of yours over how long it will take this year for all the snow to finally melt away. I've heard guesses for as early as April and as late as June, but might it be even later? Or earlier? Here is the official DSLJ contest! I will judge (and am therefore ineligible) based on when all the snow is gone from my yard, or some similar arbitrary yet definite metric, and announce the winner(s) in however many months.
You have until ~5pm Friday to place your bets. You can change your answer as many times as you like until the poll is closed.
