Today I learned a new term: Unshovel. Sure it won't get you any points in Scrabble because it's not a real word, but it is a real enough action. With Spring beginning to poke its head through Winter's fog we at the Zoo have begun to Unshovel areas.
To Unshovel is pretty straight forward. Instead of shovelling snow into piles to clear space we are now spreading it around to help melt it. Snow in a large pile will not melt as quickly as it would if it were spread a bit thinner on the ground. The more we can expose to the Sun's rays the more we'll get rid of. In an odd way we've come full circle. First we shovelled now we unshovel.
