5 inches of snow!
ahhhh you finally got some snow there in South Cackalacky........lol, yeah,
we got 4-5 inches here in Dandridge, west of you just past the I-40 line at the 81 split. It's been fluctuating between 21o (a heat wave!) to 13o and we're supposed to get to -2 with the 15-15 mph gusts making the windchill a dangerous -38 tonight. We have just enough wood to do another night of frigid temperatures, and I can actually see the perennials pulling tight as the soil tries to squeeze some of them out of their protective nests. That would be the newer plantings, as the roots haven't had a year or two to establish and resist heaving. But at least there is snow cover, Pat, since the frigid temps would stress your garden worse than no snow and this frigid temperature you're getting. I keep kavetching about no hellebore buds yet, but I've been playing with the Paint Shop Pro and the - button to click past the pictures on my screen saver program, and since it shows me ALL the pictures I have now taken since May of last late spring and into summer, as well as the snow pictures I took last week, various blooming tropicals in the last month and all, it's been uplifting to cruise thru hot pink zinnia's and then snow rising on pots of sedums like over proofed white dough with dried stems poking out. Or the new cat experiencing his first snow, and then pictures of Keebler fudge striped cookies and caramels and caramel corn in silver cups making little turkeys that my daughter in law made for Thanksgiving, back to fire engine red zinnia's mingling in with plum striped Zebrina sisters showing their skirts again for a late bloom in September with peripheral visions of the cold blowing snow outside the edges of my eyes thru the nook window where the icy fingers of the outside slip in thru the uninsulated cracks. Good day for reflections, pictures of last years flowers, good music in the background (WNCW.org) and hot raspberry tea. Keep warm, Loony, crocus will be poking up soon, even though the snow! madgardener enjoying a true winter for the first time in years up on the powdery snow covered ridge, back in fairy holler (the fairies are tucked in under the leaves and snow adn refuse to come out, let the snow fairy and the ice elf tromp around with their blue feet and hands, it's nap time for the others) overlooking a beautifully textural English Mountain in Eastern Tennessee "loonyhiker" wrote in message ... Hi all! We had 5 inches of snow that came after 1am today. They cancelled most schools and businesses here. I felt my camellia bush even shiver as I walked by her. Tonight it is supposed to get so cold here that the wind-chill will 10 degrees below zero! brrrrr. Is it warm anywhere? If you have some warm air, please send some my way! I'm ready to do some gardening. loony South Carolina |
