Normally we have a light snowfall in late October, a bit heavier in November and quite often snow for Christmas. We had just enough snow so far to barely coat the grass but it was gone in a flash. The temperatures have been quite mild as well especially this past week with temperatures above the freezing mark. In fact, we have yet to have a hard frost which translates into a lot of mud and illnesses. Last year was a bad year for snowfall as well. Lack of snowfall usually means a hotter than average summer but it also creates a lot of problems for local farmers and home gardeners. Yet this year, unlike last we have had a fair amount of rain, even a couple of record setting downpours. It snowed a bit last night and is trying today but really there isn't much accumulation. Here's hoping for a bit more snowfall before our attention turns to planting season!
Happy Gardening!
