By '78 standards, this was a pussy cat but I am glad I was tucked inside. The garden is benefiting from a new blanket which is welcome. <em>Layanee, I'm glad you were tucked inside too!

Layanee, I’m glad you were tucked inside too! And unfortunately it doesn’t look like our blanket will last very long. The pendulum swings… -kris

Looks like you got that generator just in time. I've learned to not whack snow off if it's not doing any immediate structural damage. I usually do more damage trying to whack it off than just leaving it alone. I do get peeved that it seems to permanently bow some of my rose canes. <em>Susan, it's true - you've got to be gentle and for the most part everything is fine without our interference. I've left (almost) everything alone here but knocked a few things back upright at my house - some evergreens just seem to take too well to bonsai-like training. -kris </em> It’s your turn for snowiness!

The pictures are wonderful, but I cannot imagine getting that much snow in such a short space of time. Hope that your plants survive! <em>Charlotte, Thanks! I think our plants will do just fine - most prefer snow cover as insulation in the winter (and it looks like a lot but we probably only got 8 or 10 inches here.) I hope your travels bring you to Blithewold someday soon! -kris</em> Looks absolutely amazing .. in all senses of the word!
