We have rarely been without snow on the ground this winter. Since November 2, in fact. Part of the time it is mostly gone, leaving behind bleak and shrinking heaps in corners and parking lots, but then it comes back, rebounding flluffily with luminous and happy vistas. This is southeastern Alaska in the midst of a temperate rain forest and our normal default is rain, not snow. This year it is just the opposite.

Jerry, you will catch your elusive wabbit. :)
