 Now if it would only snow where it's *supposed to*!

Don't you have any snow in Wisconsin?   How in the world did you escape this
winter?  I suppose I do sound like a real crank over this snow but it is wet
and heavy and cold.  It is only January 04 and the snow will be here until
the end of March.  Big steep verges of it at the roadsides.  Roofs leak, ice
forms and if there is Grinch out there caring to steal winter, he can have my
share.

PS Pat, we have also had rain and sleet.  Under the snow is ice and there is
ice like a sandwich between the various storms.  Since the first of November
it has rained or snowed or something has fallen out of the sky 5 days of
every seven.

Oh, Claire, I just guess we're "lucky". What most of the gardeners up here in nearly snowless Wisconsin worry about is if we get below zero cold with no snow cover. Here in Milwaukee we've barely touched the single digits for lows, so still lots of evergreen things hanging on to their leaves.

In December of 2001, we had over 4 ft of snow and then hardly any for the rest of the winter. All in all, I like some snow cover, but it seems up here, it's either feast or famine.
