Our Groundhog Day snow is the first one to give us a proper covering since we moved here in 2006. The wet flakes attached themselves to our dogwood trees at the side of the house giving us spring-like faux blossoms.
In the photo at right you can see our white boxer, Willie, quizzically looking out the window. Willie is 3 years old so this is his first snow.
I had intentions of sowing grass seed when the forecasters first told us about the possibility of snow last week. Just before a heavy wet snow is always the best time to sow grass because it pulls the seed down the correct distance into the ground. Then we were told the storm was going around us so we wouldn't see any accumulation. Alas, the seed is still in the sack.
Beautiful. Beautiful. I'll look forward to the spring and summer views.
ReplyDeleteOn last night, in York County, SC wr were to get 6 inches of wet snow, the ground was already saturated by rain from teh past two weeks, so i got to seeding when the sbow started to fall,and by 30 mins after getting the seed down an 1-2 inches already accumulated. Overnight we got 5" + on the ground this morning. I hope the seed does well especially in the troubled areas.
