All of you searchers asking how long it takes snow to melt, the answer in this case is “As long as it takes Google Video to verify and approve user submissions.” (Update: moved to Flickr.)

As you can see, the snow thawed away pretty fast as soon as the precipitation stopped and the sun came out. There’s not a whole lot of snow left in the parts of the city I frequent, except on some grass and other untrod surfaces.
