Cold and Snow
Not much to report on the day before Christmas. A week ago we had bone-chilling cold, with temperatures reaching -30C (-22F)! Yesterday it was a big snowstorm that made headlines by dropping about six to eight inches of snow in one day. But this ensures a white Christmas.
I never did get a chance to wrap my young Staghorn Sumacs (Rhus typhina) to protect them from bunny snacking. So, I'll have to wait and see if they get attacked. On the other hand, the forecast is calling for temperatures to go back up above freezing next week, so the seesaw weather continues. The bone-chilling cold temps were the first real test for my handful of borderline hardy specimens -- most notably of which is the Eastern Redbud (Cercis canadensis). I am really hoping that that one makes it through the winter.
