Just another 10 inches or so of snow overnight. I'm running out of places to put it...and I'm serious about that. Will have to prune or remove some plantings since they have been buried or damaged for more than a month now. Last Winter I can recall that was worse in terms of snow or persistent cold was '77/'78. That season, the ocean was frozen over in spots for quite awhile, and my high school (which was the only one in the county that never closed)was shut down for a week.

Definitely over 12 inches here. All the trees are covered in the wet snow and some tree branches are leaning a lot. My backyard probably has over 2 feet of snow because of all the snow left from the last 3 or 4 storms!

At least there is going to be a major warm up coming up to melt all this snow. Just kidding! Every day in the 10 day forecast is at least 5 degrees below average and there is a chance for some light snow this weekend and heavier snow is possible mid next week if the storm comes up the coast (lets hope it doesnt). Seems like major snow is occuring about once a week now and with all this cold, none of it is melting!

Good luck!

Getting beyond ridiculous at this point. I have two feet of snow in the fields around the house (with drifts to 3 -
3 1/2 feet). Last weekend the deer heard settled in the back yard. They usually don't eat the holly but they are now. Fortunately, I never pruned my big Japanese holly so I didn't care--still needs to be pruned in the Spring. I took the lights off the Trachys--they were starting to burn a bit--from the warmth! Southern magnolias took a bit of the hit from the last one (too HEAVY and wet). Get ready, seems that the atmosphere is already gearing up for another MAJOR snow bomb toward the end of next week. Can you imagine what will happen once it eventually starts to RAIN on us--major flooding. Mostly staying home here--ordering more PALMS!!!

Since there isnt any more room left to pile the snow up on, I really dont want anymore! Possibly some more snow to shovel this weekend (some saying 1-3 inches) and next week definitely has potential to be bigger!! Keep an eye out!

Here are some pics from the December storms we got in SW Ontario, Canada.

I had about 3-4 feet covering my Windmills

I had to call in reinforcements to dig them out...

You gotta fight Mother Nature ! Don't let her take your palms ! Good luck :)

WOW! That is a lot of snow. I don't think I've ever seen snow here get to waist-deep levels. Weather patterns throughout the world seem to just get crazier and crazier. Whacky weather!

The snow that fell wasn't waist deep. What you see is with the drifting included. :)
