Spring is a long ways away for me! We have got a lot of snow for us this winter. I have a 8 ft high snow pile on my lawn from shovelling my driveway, and it is only getting bigger. You can't see my SUV parked in the driveway. Most likely will not be gone until April possibly early May this year.

At least it warmed up some. We got up to 20F today!

Yikes!! Usually we are in the teens most of January and I'm not naive enough to think we don't have a lot of winter still left. I will think positive and make the best of days like this.

That picture ^^^was taken on the Foothills parkway near the Great Smokies Mountains National Park, last February. Spring will come, I just ain't sure how long it will take.
