So I chose a subject that features both, the unusual weather, and something that reminds at least a bit of a snowflake. Best one yet! Here on the east coast of the USA we've had 2 years in a row of extreme tree destruction. One more year and I think all our Tulip Poplars might be gone. We had an unexpected load of snow already once at the end of October which broke off a thick branch of one of my apple trees and a plum tree as a whole! [... admittedly these were very old trees] In general we are not so happy with mild winters, because there can be frosts until mid-May and when the winters are rather warm, the trees will bloom very early and then be caught by the cold. To prevent trees from early sprouting the trunks are even sometimes painted white, so that the warm sunrays in Spring are reflected and cannot be absorbed. I'm speaking of 48° latitude north and continental climate. Best wishes, and Merry Christmas! |
