Still much snow but some warmer temperatures and rain so it's melting fairly quickly, resulting in considerable seepage in the basement.

It is very, very muddy with fully saturated ground.  I BARELY made it up the driveway, with the very bottom after the turn being the biggest problem.

This trip: vacuumed firebox and lower parts of chimney.

March!

Arrived afternoon of March 1st.  All in order.  Still lots of snow on the ground.  Temperatures warmer than last visit.  Spring on the way!
