What the hell are snow moles?


A blanket of snow is actually a good insulator and moles (or other small
rodents) will dig tunnels under the snow and in the grass. While
generally not a big problem, I did lose a bush one year when they ate the
branches during the winter.

I wouldn't bother to cut it, but if you haven't fertilized it, you might
want to do that in the early spring.

Thanks Steveo. Now that makes sense.
