DuPage River, West Branch, 12 March 2014
We are now on daylight saving. Spring will be here officially tomorrow, but there are other signs that it is on the way. Yesterday as I tuned into the street on which I live I noticed the tops of the first daffodil shoots. The tips were yellow, but the next couple of inches were green. Just a few days ago they had been buried under snow. While there are still a few much diminished mounds of grimy snow around, mainly in the areas that are shaded, a couple of days with highs significantly above freezing eliminated much of the snow. Yesterday it was sunny and in the fifties, not good for the life expectancy of snow.
The last significant snow we had was a week ago in the early morning of the 12th. By mid-morning the sky was beginning to have some blue areas and a lack of wind kept most of the new snow on the trees. The following two shots give some idea of the conditions. One was taken from the bridge across the former mill race at Warrenville Grove. The other was from the William Road bridge across the West Branch of the DuPage River.
