This was the view from my window at 1am today...
The greenhouse top was covered and the temps kept fluctuating thawing and icing up the moisture. If you look close you can see that the snow on top has slid a few times... it's clinging and curling around the roofbase. I love to see snow against the old oak out back... and on the pines too.
An old picnic table was covered by about 1:30 am.
This was the view from the window at about 9am.
The ice sheeted, but was clinging to the roof edge...
Lots of lovely icicles...
on the greenhouse too...
This is the underside of all that snow that was sliding off of the roof of the greenhouse. It was still here when I woke up and it looked so interesting underneath because of the way the lexan ridges shaped it. It did finally fall off at about 2pm and then it started snowing again...
Jerry's old wagon (the sentry for my garden) looks nice skirted in snow.
My peaches, apricots, and nectarines will probably shed lots of buds and blossoms, but after looking them over, only about 25% of the buds have even swelled so far, so it may not be as bad as I thought.
This snowfall has been a real helper for the fruit trees. I used it to soak in some long term fertilizer pellets.The pavement is all clear now, and it keeps coming down in waves...
The clouds will part and dare the sun to shine, and then they seem to seal it back up again...
I am going to miss winter when she's gone... she's been so mild and calm this season. It almost seemed we'd skip her altogether.
Well, that's the view from here. Have a wonderful and productive week ahead!
