Spring! Really?

So nice of you to drop by. Welcome
to the neighbourhood. You've
been expected. We can hardly
believe how long we have
awaited your arrival, and
finally you're here. Your
presence, I assure you, very much
appreciated. Please forgive 
the mess everywhere. You know
the snow-and-ice-packs
accumulated over winter; they
just don't want to go. And so
we put up with the visual blight
transformed from the lofty
fluffed piles of snow that once
so delighted us. Hoping that
your entrance will be
sufficiently persuasive, assuming
you mean to stay awhile, to
ensure that all that degraded ice
and the crusty snow hiding very
rude deposits will go before long.
Please excuse the presumption
but is that not your intention?
