We're in the middle of a late-season storm right now.  It looks like we've had three or four inches today, but it's still snowing and I haven't bothered to measure since it will have changed by the morning.  Today (March 23) was our most recent day with a high temperature below freezing.  It never got above 28 degrees F. today.  Likewise, today was our latest snowfall, latest date with complete snow cover, and latest date on which the ground was covered with snow.  This will be reflected in my next post once the storm ends, but I wanted to make sure that I put it down today anyway.

P.S. There were still a few places around the farm with snow cover before today's storm.  Hence, we have still had "snow cover" even though the ground has been bare (in most places) for close to two weeks.
