From a local newspaper in my northern B.C. community:
Spring is in the air. One way to tell is the number of people you see shovelling snow from their lawns back onto their driveways.
Ha! 🙂
(For those of you who don’t know: Snow melts faster when it’s spread out in a thin layer rather than piled in huge mounds. Moving snow from the tall piles alongside your driveway — where you shovelled it during in the winter — back onto your clear driveway surface — where it will melt and evaporate during the day — means that you’ll see your lawn a heck of a lot sooner than you would otherwise!)
