Snow and more snow

15 years ago

and yet MORE snow!

I am waving the white flag and ready for spring!!

Don't ask me how much we've gotten, all I know is we are setting new records for snowfall amounts for this month.

Last week we got 10 inches. 5 the Monday before Christmas and 5 the Saturday after. Now last night it started snowing around midnight and holy moley over 9 inches so far and still coming down. We have a 4 foot bank of snow at the end of the driveway from the city plow.

***I'm having a cow thinking at least 4 more months of winter!***

***Winter started this year the first of November and hasn't left***

Anybody got any Calgon??? Or should I just hit the two bottles of wine left from Christmas????

I would suggest drinking the wine while soaking in the Calgon bath. :o)
.
Of course I would be sitting by the window enjoying the view and occasionally running outside to play! It hasn't snowed here since 1985 (I know y'all have heard me say that a hundred times!)

Do any Southern Highbush lose all their leaves

Brady: Under my conditions, in a greenhouse with little leaf disease and no freezes, most low chill southern highbush will evergreen. But it's dependent on growing conditions, nitrogen status and plant vigor. The more vigorous, high nitrogen, plants stay evergreen. For instance Star, about 400hrs, dropped all it's leaves on an older plant with less vigor. Younger plants higher in nitrogen carried nearly all leaves through the winter. Stuff like Emerald and Sweetcrisp, 200 hrs, are pretty easy to evergreen. The northern highbush I've grown dropped all leaves in winter. Have a Reveille that lost all leaves this winter and it was a vigorous, high nitrogen plant in the fall. Staying evergreen is an advantage to me if the plant doesn't get frozen back.

The last time we had any measurable amount of snow was in mid-December (about a foot). Since then, pretty much just flurries now and then. We haven't had a winter this dry for a long time. WE'RE supposed to be the Great White North, but instead, you guys are getting walloped! You may have a few more broken canes in the spring, but, like everyone says, the snow will insulate and give much needed moisture to your soil. Hope you are all o.k....be careful not to overdue the shoveling. You wouldn't want to put your back out just before spring. Judith

Coeur d'Alene had 127 inches of snow by yesterday and then a little more fell. This was a new seasonal record and nearly double normal. Seems like when I lived right in town about 30 years ago, there was more snow to deal with. I think that might be true but with a certain amount of melting, some drifting, and days of shoveling - it's real hard to make much sense out of the landscape. I'm considering "burrowing" next. There were winds of 35 - 40 mph with gusts near 50, today. Lots of roads in and out of communities in the Columbia Basin are closed because of drifting and white-out conditions. I think it is now going to turn to rain except for up where you are, Margaret. And, even western MT may get rain by Sunday. Hopefully, there won't be very much. digitS'

You know what they say..........When life hands you lemons make lemonade. â

I am wondering about all those people who sold their snowmobiles a few years back when we were having a record breaking string of warm winters. This was followed by a record breaking snowy winter last year and now this again this winter. With the drifts so high I couldn't even open my back door and plowing schedules always behind, those could come in real handy again now.

The heck with the lemonade, if it wasn't so early I'd be sampling that wine...but its not even 10 am yet.
The snowmobilers are on cloud 9 up here! You hear or see them all day long.
DH just went out and measured 10.5 inches now.
I am working on taking down Christmas stuff........

We've had 77.9 inches in North Idaho this month. Another storm rolling in tonight. 1/2 the work force can't seem to be able to make it to work. If I hear one more time how "lucky" I am to be able to walk to work in this sh**! I'm gonna blow my top.
Roofs are caving in all over the place. I mentioned to boss yesterday that I'm worried about the snow accumulation on this old place. The roof has needed replaced since we moved in here 15 years ago. There is probably more than four feet of snow up there now. He just shrugged me off. But he's not the one sitting here wondering if the roof is gonna fall on me any minute.

20 inches of snow in a week is too much for even me! North Dakota is really getting me down! I don't like being stuck inside.

I feel for you but you can keep it. I hate winter time. Right now I am sitting in shorts and a t-shirt playing on my new laptop with the dinning room door opened!
I know that probably doesn't make you feel better; so I am just going to send you some CALGON and you get in the tub with all four bottles of wine and ENJOY yourself!!!!
Mwanwhile I will be sending you some strong sun rays to melt the snow and warm you up. I will keep you in my thoughts that when you wake up tomorrow morn it will be all gone! LOL
