Gelid


The rock garden blanketed in snow.

So it was 12 degrees when I left this morning. Turning out to be a crazy cold winter so far.


The bulb frames would probably benefit from some more snow cover.

I promise some flower pictures soon, I saw a few crocus buds wanting to pop out as I was putting frost blankets on the greenhouse pots.

20 degrees and sunny now at noon with freezing rain, sleet and snow in the forecast for the weekend.

Cheers,
Mark
