wow..........and here I'm waiting for that first really hard freeze to kill
the perennials. I've never seen it take this long before here in Eastern Tennessee, and in Middle Tennessee, it would have already come by now. madgardener -- Humankind has not woven the web of life.

I'm in West Tennessee and we haven't had it yet either. The darn grass is
still growing and I already winterized my mower! -- Kate 98 Cobra Drop Top Please Lord, at the end, just one last ride... with the top down.

And everyone has forgotten how to drive? I certainly noticed a few people that didn't own snow scrappers on the roads..... What amazes me is that snow makes headlines here in New England. I'm sure the snow will be the lead story on the news tonight, people are continually surprised, I guess, when it snows in winter around here! -- Ann, Gardening in zone 6a Just south of Boston, MA ******************************** |

One would think that New Englanders would come to expect snow when the weather turns cold. Let me tell you about people who don't know how to drive...PERIOD. I moved from Massachusetts to southeastern Virginia. It's totally amazing here...Rain, Sunshine, Snow...doesn't matter...there's generally at least one major accident a day in this area. Last week I saw a vehicle that had flipped on it's roof on the interstate on an absolutely beautiful, cloud-free sunshiney day. When it snows, things get cancelled. Four inches can shut this area down for a day. I'm hoping for a little snow. My dogs love to play in the snow...when we get some. One of them I brought down with me so she's had the pleasure of playing in snow after a major dump (12-24 inches). Lynn |

But winter's still more than a month away! Oh, I don't think the seasons bother with reading a calendar. November is either cold, snowy, rainy, or positively warm. Take your pick from year to year! One year we were running around in shorts and t-shirts on Thanksgiving day. A year or so later (or earlier) we were dealing with almost 2' of snow. It's New England! I wouldn't live anywhere else. -- Ann, Gardening in zone 6a Just south of Boston, MA ******************************** |

Yep, 4" here, plows are out, trees are coated with white....it's
gorgeous! ) When I got my russian shepherd puppies early this year, everything was covered in snow, and they LOVED it. They'd play in the snow. Then to rest, forget the warm, cozy indoors, they'd go lay in the snow to rest. They would NOT walk on the sidewalk - only the snow. When the snow started receding a few months later, they weren't sure of all of that other stuff that became visible. For a short while, they wouldn't even walk or go to the bathroom on that weird "ground" that they'd never seen before. Then, of course, came spring, and they soon learned that sniffing the ground, eating grass, and chasing bugs were pretty fun, too. So, a few weeks ago when we got the first small snow storm of the yar, we woke them up during the night and took them outside to see the world "as it should be" again. They walked out the door, froze in place, looked around with expressions of mixed surprise, awe, and delight - and then went CRAZY running and playing in it. It may have only been 3/4", but it was heaven to them. And everyone has forgotten how to drive? I certainly noticed a few people that didn't own snow scrappers on the roads..... Around here, people are complete idiots about driving in the snow for the first two snowfalls, then they suddenly remember how to go about it sensibly for the rest of the winter. Yet the next year, for the first two snowfalls, they're complete idiots once again. steve |

Not so that you can see better, but so the other person who hasn't fully defrosted their windshield can see you. This is particularly applicable to the morning commute. |
