Wow, I see you got stuck in that mess! Hopefully some warmer weather will clean that up. Maybe THIS will be the last winter event. Well we do still have a month to go, so I wouldnt be too surprised if even I get 1 good snow (or I guess bad snow depending upon how you look at it!).

Good luck. Hows the protection doing?

Those kinds of scenes will cause nightmares if viewed to often.

:-)

The protection is fine,nothing more damaged since the last time as it has not been cold-no sun in over a week and foggy.
I would rather have cold and sunny....

Of course I can't get into the g-house because the zipper is iced over.

Jim,

I can't believe those pictures....I hope you are staying warm...any power problems with all of that ice?

I love those summer pictures....Spring will be here hopefully soon!!!

great bonus pic, not so good other pics. good luck. ice is the worst of winter weather events. Hope the power stays on and stay warm.

Hey, at least its trying to warm-up. 34*F sure beats -2*F. Its a sign the blizzard pattern changed at least(for now).

Enjoyed the contrasting photo shots. What is the bonus shot, are those some sort of tracky in the native land?

Thanks all!
No power out here.

Not positive of spelling-Quindio ceroxylon in habitat-tallest palms in the world +200'

Ice is losing it's grip (-:
Heavy rain tomorrow should wash this shite away!(-:

At least now you are getting some rain. Im sure once the ice is all melted it will be possible to get some power. It could be worse though. It could have been cold without power (that would be devestating to the palms too).

I think those palms in the last picture are very cool. Apparently they are the tallest palms in the world (I thought the african oil palm was). They arent that fast though (probably slower than washingtonias), but I guess they live much longer. They grow at high elevations (near the equator), but can still probably handle some freezes. They are endangered, but now are protected. They have a wiki article on them. Probably not the best potted palms though!

I think they would grow well next to the
"coast"redwoods.
Did I mention they are the tallest palms in the world,? thought I did.
We never lost power.

Sorry i misunderstood it when you said "No power out here". I thought when you said there was "No power out here" you meant that there was no power in your neighborhood.
You did say they were the tallest palms, I just thought that it was really interesting how you rarely hear about them being the tallest.

As far as weather goes...
It looks like a cool down next week, but I think there is only about another 5 weeks before it starts to get a little warmer (as long as things stay around average).

Yea,I look forward to Feb-
the stronger sun and longer days make quick work of the snow even in cold weather (-:
