Well this is a first for me. 65 years in Providence and I never remember snow on my blooming imaptiens and zinnias! Princess flower still loaded with blooms, and even the tomatoes and basil were still green and happy. But last night's heavy snow and tonight's predicted upper 20's for low temp will end it all I would imagine. My real concern is what effect this will have on the perennials, trees and shrubs, none of which have had time to go into dormancy. Same holds true for my cacti and succulents. They have usually shriveled before and cold and snow arrive,but not this year. It will be interesting. Certainly seems that the climate is undergoing some changes.
