Back to normal here with a dusting of snow on the ground this morning, and a 20 cm dump forecast for tomorrow. Virtually all the snow was gone by Sunday, and continued above zero all day. I was outdoors in my shirtsleeves and rubber boots.
Shorter thaws can actually be deadlier for garlic and other overwinter things, when you get a pool of water on top of frozen ground that freezes again before it drains away. All my garlic drainage looks good this year, but there was standing water for half a day at least on some of my large veggie containers.
We broke the record high on Saturday, it was 11 C set 108 years ago, and we easily cracked that at 14.9 C.
OTOH, the western half of the island got heavy rain with the warmth, on top of heavy snow they had down. The flooding was bad and roads washed out etc.
