Dorothy, that is horrible....we still have snowcover but I am getting
worried as three or four days of above freezing weather and RAIN (not
snow) erodes our base. I hesitant measuring the snow...makes me worry
too much but suffice to say that it can't be more than 6 - 8" which is
unheard of here in January. Below is the conversion of our current
temp. according to the TIME-Life weather website:
>The temperature, 38 F degrees f, from farenheit to celsius is: 3.33 c
I wish it were 3 degrees F.....
Being a tundra dweller, I have never seen an iris heave....yet. :-(
