First night sleeping with the window open. ...
I'm not quite that bold -- yet... but I did have most windows and sliders open all day and into the evening.
Today was the warmest day we've had this year. In fact, when I was outside in full sun mid-afternoon I almost wished it was a few degrees cooler! 
But I didn't want to jinx spring, so I suppressed that thought.

Yup, don't want to jinx it! The Lady went skiing yesterday with Barking Spider to work on a ski trail. Barking said on their return, "She worked my butt off!" I said, "You asked her to come along and help." They ran into our ex county sheriff out snowshoeing with a buddy so it had to be a nice day.
During my lunch break from work I watched bees on the peach tree blossoms and dreamed about plump peaches in the fall. 
Should I dare take the snowblower and tire chains off the tractor?

Depends on how badly you want more snow You're already pushing it by taking snow tires off.
I leave my snowblower and shovels out and available until I need the lawn mower. Learned those lessons the hard way growing up in Duluth.
Grass is starting to green up here after two days of rain. Tree buds are starting to swell but not green yet. Lilac started to bud two weeks ago.

The May 1st snow survey showed the snowpack in our part of the Sierra Nevada at 188% of normal.
Excellent!
I haven't seen the latest survey for my area yet. Usually published in the paper, but if not I guess I'll have to go looking for it.

MarkBC the Deschutes is 80% of normal as of today. It drops off quickly in April, I think April 1 snowpack is the best gauge of the winter accumulation compared to normal overall for here.

But these "70" temps sure do feel great 
! But those freezing temps on Monday and Tuesday were no fun-just part of this strange new weather pattern I guess!

Thanks for the link.
Looks like Steens Mt and other Great Basin areas of SE OR have plenty.
Aside from what's good for us and our world...I like the 10-day forecast for Bend:
