at least for where I am in New England, this is one of the longest 'winter tails' I can recall for many years. I'm not complaining - this is how it used to be when I was a kid in the 90s - it's just a noticeably slow thaw. over the past decade, we usually go from over a foot of snow to practically summer in two weeks flat, and there's always a road getting washed out or an old bridge getting blocked as the river rose over it from the speed of the melt. it's a welcome lull in the increasingly extreme weather I've noticed within my not-so-old lifetime.
