This is what the greenhouse looked like yesterday:
And this is what it looked like down here around 6 last night:
But the sun was out today so almost all of the snow has melted down here.

Winter just does not want to let go! The wind was like from an iceberg again today. Days like today…I am glad I am not out pruning apple trees. Actually, they would have been done by now.
Yes, it makes a big difference if we can stay inside. Which is what I usually do nowadays. How much do you go out?
As for being outside doing things, I have had skin cancer on 3 spots on my face, so it really makes me think when I go out. Because of that I am not outside near as much as I would have been before. My father-in-law had skin cancer on his face, and let me tell you, it is not always an easy fix. It would take paragraphs to explain it all.
I have always been and outdoors person…I never was much of one to stay inside.
As to going to the store…I go to either Walmart or grocery store about once a week. Always run out of something, or have a prescription to pick up. But we live in a small town, I go early, and at the most less than a dozen shoppers there while I am there. So no trouble keeping a distance.
I’m photosensitive so I wear a lot of sun protection when I go outside. Andy doesn’t but he goes to a dermatologist regularly to treat precancerous spots. Skin cancer isn’t life threatening, but it’s still nasty stuff.
I will tell you a bit about my father-in law…he had a file that was over 2 inches thick. Had had probably 70 surgeries…all a result of skin cancer. They did flap surgeries where they walked chunks of flesh first from his forehead down, then from his chest…up to places on his face. We moved to Tennessee when he had one last repair surgery scheduled. (When I met him, he ha had the flap surgery from his forehead.)
They went in and found more cancer…he lost an eye, one side of his upper jaw bone, the roof of his mouth. Roger’s mom had to clean ‘up in there’ for years…every morning. He had prosthetic eye, and cheek. Cause a big part of his cheek was gone.
Before he died, they found basic basal cell cancer in his lung…this was at a big, teaching hospital in Indianapolis.
So skin cancer is nothing to take lightly.
just WOW, WOW, WOW…but having read some of your replies from yesterdays post, can understand the scenario a little better.
We are battered by different weather systems being a thin series of islands in the Pacific. So that’s the Pacific from the north and the east, over from Australia, and up from the Antarctic … a variety of moisture, winds and whatever else comes our way…
We have a lot of variety in the weather, but probably not nearly as much as you do!
We saw that KB from Romp and Roll was expecting a big snowstorm. We didn’t really get much here this winter, just more icy conditions. Mom loves the Spring and we love the Winter. Can we come visit?
Woos, Lightning and Timber
I would love to see you! 🙂
Good grief!
It keeps us from being bored. 🙂
I’m always fascinated by how fast the snow out west burns off. Here, that just doesn’t happen.
Starting about February we don’t worry about snow staying too long. We get a lot of sunshine.
That’s a lot of snow. It was snowing last night here
I hope you didn’t have enough to cause problems.
I do hope your garden is still growing and the snow did not harm it.. brrrrr is what I was thinking. I am prostrate with heat today. so muggy and hot it is as bad as july/august..
The plants in the greenhouse should be fine, but the sub-freezing temperatures may have hurt our plants outside.
