The first image, from 6 March, shows widespread snowcover.  The second image, from 15 March, shows widespread bare ground.  The period from 9 March through 13 March was one of widespread low clouds, fog, and light rain that removed the cumulative effects of 3 months&#8217; worth of snowstorms.  Snowcover in Madison, for example, began on December 7th and remained for 93 days, until March 10th.  That 93-day stretch was the 6th-longest such stretch of consecutive days with snowcover, tying with a streak in the winter of 1970-1971.  The winter of 1978-1979 in Madison had the longest streak of consecutive days with snowcover:  118.
