Snow's all gone, winter is over at last!

Some time between 3 and 4 o'clock this afternoon, the last bit of snow behind Rite Aid finally melted or evaporated. Winter is officially OVER.

(thanks go to unferth for today's observation)

HOORAY!

Seems like the perfect time to play this song by former Somerville resident Josh Ritter:

"Long time coming but now the snow is gone!"

I noticed when I was there a bit earlier (1-ish) that there was only that teeny bit of snow left, and figured it would be gone by the end of the day. Yay, spring!

Now, who's going to tell us when the first A/C unit goes in?

Fine. Now that you had to go and post that, I'm keeping my snow shovels out on the porch and my ice scraper in the car for another two weeks.

What about the iceberg at Alewife? It was still 6' high as of April 10. (http://www.flickr.com/photos/dougorleans/5620055850/in/photostream)

Where specifically is that? I can go take a look today.

You can click on the map on the Flickr page to see where the photo was taken. It's near the beginning of the Fitchburg Cutoff Path, behind a parking garage.

I had no idea you could do that. The map on the Flickr page just shows a big red dot somewhere in eastern Massachusetts, with no indication that you can zoom in.
