Everything Under Snow

The snow is soft & thick over everything this morning, the garden islovely. No one's apt to come plow our steep hill, so I guess I'm snowedin. Interesting when it snows & hardly any of it sticks to the AlaskaCedar which has evolved slipper droopy fans of needles that keep theweight off its limbs in the very snowy places it grows wild. As I'm still recovering from the flu I don't get to play in it. Would liketo walk to Iris's cafe but it'd kill me just now. Weather report suggestsit will get warmer & rain this afternoon, so it won't be so perfectlysnowy long. I only hope it doesn't melt then freeze solid, as that coulddamage some bulbs that had sprouted early, though the snow itselfshouldn't harm anything at all. A mere six or eight inches snow shuts down the town, which is prettyfunny, cuz when I was in Madison two feet & a blizzard shut down nothingin town.-paghat the ratgirl

Tonight and tomorrow night are supposed to break records around here. Right now it's 7°, dry as a bone, and very still out there; we're supposed to get 3-5" overnight. By the morning it will be well below zero, they say, and tomorrow night we're looking at -10° in Boston, which means we'll be lower.........Can you say BRRRRRRRRRRRR? Hopefully we do get that snowcover, although it's a bit late. I wish everything had had a foot or so on it before the Arctic Express arrived.
