Good insulation!!!
Fox news some places got 17",how much did you get?
They just said another one coming in a week just like the last one,hopefully it will go out to sea!

Looks beautiful....until it crushes the living s*** out of your plants 😯

Hope your Yuccas can take it.

Models are all over the place on the next storm,
could be a blizzard here or nail the east coast again!

Definitely one to watch!

Trying to sneak above freezing here for a change-
shhhhhh,don't tell anyone-maybe tomorrow too,
nice to see the sun again.

Oh man looks like really heavy snow.

Would you be doing more harm than good by brushing the wet snow out of the unprotected yucca crowns?
Sun would dry them...
but then you lose insulation and cold could get at 'em :angry1:

I figure WET could induce rot, which can be treated with fungicide.
COLD can kill, so what's best?
Like Jim said, it can crush/snap them too.

What's the lesser of the two evils on this?

I'm guessing the covered one will be fine 👿

We have SO MUCH SNOW now, the piles are freakin huge everywhere.

I'm about ready for it to stop how about you Tim? If we get another blizzard I will not be happy 😥

Your mag looks ok, better then mine. Hope that rostrata is ok.

I guess we got about 10" (25cm) of snow last night. We don't need more next week......so keep that storm out to sea.

I do remove the snow as much as I can from the Y. rostrata leaves since winter moisture is a problem. My rostratas have seen -8F back in 2004-2005 and did fine where a Y. trecueana died. We just dropped to -4F the other day too......we'll see how it fairs.

I agree with Bill....we don't need any more snow.....we need spring.

Tim, Bill:
I'm so sorry. That looks as bad as I feared from seeing news reports.

I hear you all, we got another "HEAVY" 15 inches here too, and another day off of school. We'll be going until July at this rate...UGH! 😯

be going until July at this rate.

:laughing3:

I think Barb just flipped me the bird??????? Here is our back yard this morning after the thunder snow...that was amazing BTW....

I'll third that......Getting sick of it now.

just flipped me the bird???????

Never!
...pointing and laughing at your July comment.

That is a pretty scene, Mike.
Notice this time you've taken photos of stuff that doesn't collapse :toothy7:

I know...I ws just joking...I gotta say though, this snow is gorgeous...I'll have some pics on flickr soon too.....Although I am sick of the snow. It makes it soooo hard to jog when you are sliding all over the place. On a warmer note, I collected a load of palm seeds from my trip to Miami last weekend....I have no idea what they are all, but I hope to be pleasantly surprised..

I think the same way, I don't like snow on my yuccas. I have lost probably more yuccas to heavy snow than cold. 😐
