Normally we are covered in mole hills of snow now it's back to mountains like our near record breaking amounts last year.Ottawa Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14486499450332482461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-52118319493493935412008-12-27T07:54:00.000-05:002008-12-27T07:54:00.000-05:00Jennifer: Well I grew up in Colorado so I've seen ...Jennifer: Well I grew up in Colorado so I've seen lots more snow. Maybe someday I'll move south and quit having to shovel. Sadly for the rosemary we will be above 40 for the next three days and 60 on Sunday. So the snow may all disappear. This is so typical for the Boston area - snow storms that melt out fast. It's not that great for the plants.<BR/><BR/>Wow roof collapses with just 10". Y'all really aren't used to snow - not even the builders. Hmm do people even own shovels in Seattle?Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-42497113783605649742008-12-26T14:24:00.000-05:002008-12-26T14:24:00.000-05:00That sure is a pile of snow!

We've even had a bunch of roof collapses since people here just aren't used to snow--doesn't occur to anyone to shovel off their roof or shovel their front walks. I heard it was only our 10th white Christmas since 1880s.<BR/>--CurmudgeonCurmudgeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12864042359805755661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-25627545303158506722008-12-24T09:22:00.000-05:002008-12-24T09:22:00.000-05:00I don't think I've ever seen that much snow in rea...I don't think I've ever seen that much snow in real life! We don't usually get snow like that in the Missouri. It is snowing here right now, but nothing like that. Here, a few inches closes schools and shuts down parts of the city. We don't handle it very well I suppose.<BR/><BR/>I hope your rosemary survives.Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01760009169211682230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-75206617827034643422008-12-24T08:23:00.000-05:002008-12-24T08:23:00.000-05:00Michelle: We usually get this much snow at once ab...Michelle: We usually get this much snow at once about every 4 years maybe. Sometimes it slowly piles up, but most of our snowstorms are in the 3-6" range with rain at the end to wash it away. Last year we also got hit hard in December. We had three storms hit within a couple of weeks right before Christmas and ended up with about what we have now. So the storm was uncommon, but not really unheard of.<BR/><BR/>Tina: I noticed all the snow posts - on both coasts too.<BR/><BR/>Ali: 5" sounds good. Even one foot seems ok. With over 2 feet my shoulders still hurt from all the shoveling.<BR/><BR/>Dan: Luckily the kids were back. My son especially is a pretty good shoveler. He didn't get home until Saturday, but the Friday storm was light puffy snow and no big deal. The Sunday storm was very heavy wet snow. But with four people it goes much faster.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-2545837600213042882008-12-23T17:08:00.000-05:002008-12-23T17:08:00.000-05:00That is a very picturesque image.

It is pretty but so is 5" :-) Good call on shoveling the roof, I hear we are headed for more weather whiplash, with Sunday temps in the upper 40s (maybe 50 down your way south) and possible rain, ugh.<BR/><BR/>I've got to clean the hoophouse off today, and then take a look inside, but it is COLD, just 15°F with a slight breeze.<BR/><BR/>Happy Holidays!<BR/>AliAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-86872592423306732822008-12-23T11:04:00.000-05:002008-12-23T11:04:00.000-05:00Snow seems to be the word of the day on all the no...Snow seems to be the word of the day on all the northern blog-a White Christmas for sure!
