February 17: Remnants

[neverspent]

It's spring-like, right down to the muggy weather, lethargy and impending thunderstorms. But there are still signs of last week's snow, mainly the large grains of salt on the walks, the sheet of beige sand pushed to the middle and edges of some roads, and a few rapidly shrinking piles of ugly, dirty snow where it was pushed off of parking lots. I've been documenting the melting of a pile of snow right where I park: on the 14th, 15th, 16th, and today.

I also see meandering concentric lines of salt where puddles formed on the pavement, then evaporated leaving the salt behind.
