That happened to us in pa. They were calling for 8 to 10 inches. I wasnt buying it, but by morning we had 2 and a half feet! This was in the begining of february. I think its good for the jugs, it keeps them insulated, and when your snow melts they will be nicely watered! I cant wait for it to melt.

We got an inch, thankful it melted off the sidewalks and is sticking to the latest containers. Am waiting for more, supposed to be 4" and maybe more in the next 3 days. Nothing yet. I welcome it for my containers but will have to deal with it on sidewalks and car.

I agree with lilyfinch. The temperature underneath the snow should not drop below 32º. A dry winter is actually harder on plants, because they will get exposed to colder temperatures, than if there was snow cover.

Yep, it has begun.

Well, it is still snowing, but warm enough that it is also melting. I have faith that my babies will be okay (kinda). Wasn't sure if I would be able to make it to work tomorrow. We don't get a plow on our street. My lovely neighbors have been doing 20-30 laps around the block just to pack down the snow so that people can drive. I spent 2 hours shoveling the walk and driveway, and street, and car. As long as the snow stops in the next couple hours I should be able to make it tomorrow. As for the jugs, yeah, there is still no sign of them except a large lump in the snow. Hopefully by Tuesday or Wednesday enough snow will melt that I will be able to go and peek and see what the damage is. I am SOOOOOO ready for spring!

It's 59 degrees here right now at 7:06pm EST. It got up to 67 this afternoon. It was a beautiful day. Thought I'd share.

Direct sown larkspur, red clover, and a crocus.

Spring is coming. 28 days.

The jugs are still covered and I am dying to peek in them to see if things are still alive. It is supposed to snow again tonight so hopefully by Thursday I will be able to see something! I don't know if I can wait another 27 days.
