OT:Snow Report
I woke up a couple of times during the night to water dripping off my roof.
Well, there is this spot near my head. This gave me the impression that
the snow had turned to rain! Not!
It is still snowing hard, and coming in from an angle now. Relatively
little snow on my front deck/porch which indicates it came down gentle and
straight during the night. But why the dripping? The temperature didn't drop below
32 degrees! (still is) My roof is well insulated but it appears the small
amount of heat loss was enough to keep some of the snow melting. Drip!
Drip! Drip! I don't think I've seen this happen before!
The irises are well covered with the white mulch. Good snow cover on the
straw that covers my seed pots. The bail of straw/hay looked very much the
worse for wear and I thought it was spoiled or weathered. However, I'm getting
nice green sprouts over the top of the mulch and the weather doesn't seem to
bother it. A little added entertainment to brighten the days.
