March means melting snowmen and freezing rain, with black ice coating impassable roads. And driving through flooded streets that can't drain, while my frustration with potholes explodes. I love the feel of freshly fallen snow, like a white duvet of soft goose-filled down. Yet Winter starts to melt when warm winds show, transforming the ground to a muddy brown. Springtime makes rivers unsafe to skate on, even ice in the shade cannot escape. And Winter's wonderland is all but gone; unveiling a bleak and barren landscape. Spring may be a beautiful late bloomer, but She is born a sprite of ill humor.

Perfect entry Emile. Indeed, the ground gets saturated and makes a mess. You have captured the essence of the 'tween seasons beautifully. :)
