All snow now gone from yard

Cold temps / snow impacted the transplanted celery
The cold temps and light snow we had, for which I think the celery wasn't covered because the pots had blown off, seem to have taken a bit of a hit but I think they'll make it.

Snow! (just a bit) I covered-up most things to protect them.
Cold weather and some dustings of snow. Have covered up most things with pots or plastic, except carrots and garlic not covered.
--> Update a couple of days later (Friday April 23rd): Almost everything still looks fine, the one exception being one of the smaller transplanted broccolis which is floppy but might still have hope.
--> Update #2: I moved the floppy broccoli out of the prime central bed to put a healthy broccoli in its place. Moved the floppy one to the north bed against the wall.

Big melt, a lot of the snow has melted
3-4 days of awesome warm temperatures did a fast job of melting a lot of the snow. Still snow coverage but with the next warm spell it will hopefully be gone soon.

Snow! And almost every night has been cold, around 0 to -3 or so
Last spring, I posted on June 1st that it had been such a cold and damp spring. This year not too damp (so far), and we have had some nice days, but definitely cold as well.
Makes me want to continue not planting out tenders too early.
I've been covering most of the lettuces and peas with floating row cover, and some of the chard/parsley with plastic. Though the un-covered chard/parsley right next to it looks perfectly fine.

Snow nearly all gone from yard
Only some icy hard snow left in the SW section.
