November 7, 2022 - More Wet Snow

Here is picture from yesterday.  What's wrong with it? 

Those leaves should be gone.  Generally there is a hard freeze mid-October, the grass stops growing and all of the leaves drop off the trees.  That did not happen this year.

Instead, this happened over night.  We got more wet snow than last time, and it's staying cold, so it's not leaving soon.  Jim and I spent a couple of hours with rakes, shaking branches to get the snow off.  Some of the trees were just sad with their branches on the ground.



On the left are the rhododendrons, behind them is a Japanese Maple which is covered in snow.

We got a little sun late in the afternoon, but over all it was a cold day with dark skies.

Cross your fingers for tomorrow, and may the good people win the day.

  1. The same thing happens here in the spring, a late snow storm in May usually and the trees already have their leaves. Branches just snap off. Hopefully Americans (sorry) pull their heads out of their asses.

  2. I feel like we've usually had frost by now, but none so far. Vote Blue!

  4. Snow here too, though the trees are definitely bare. I hope yours disappears soon.
    Go blue!

  6. I like seeing Snow in Photos, but I don't miss it. *LOL* We had some real Extremist Types on the Ballot here in AZ but hopefully Sanity will prevail.
