UP TO ONE'S WAIST IN SNOW

THERE'S A GARDEN UNDER THERE SOMEWHERE

Saturday, 9:00 AM.  7 degrees F, wind westerly, moderate with strong gusts.  The sky is overcast with the sun again struggling to shine through.  The humidity is 80% and the barometer is trending up, now at 29.82".
   We have been clobbered with between 12" and 18" of snow in the last several days and everyone is running out of places to put it.  Our big hope now is that it will be a normal spring and not be still snowing in May as it did last year.  Last March was open and mild and then we were dumped on in April and May.  There is concern in the orchards that the winter pruning won't get done.  At present they are only able to prune the tops of the trees, walking on snow shoes.  A misstep and the pruner is up to his waist in snow.
