Ooh!

That's a first. Snow down the plumber's crack of my gardening jeans. Ooh! Cold! Today's snow looked more like a leftover slushy spilled here and there, so I was able to do some work -- when it wasn't also hailing. Today was of course nothing compared to what we here in Portland jokingly call the "snowpocalypse".

I will refer to the 2-week snow storm from December 2008 often, boringly often, because it has had such a great impact on my garden, probably more than I know now. Not much snow compared to other parts of the world, but record-breaking for Portland, its weight and cold damaged many of my plants and trees.
