Figured I'd post the first snow palm pictures of the year. This is the first time any of this stuff has seen snow. Enjoy, They all looked 100% again after some sunshine! I was a little skeptical to let it happen, but glad I did now!
My Neighbors blow up frosty must not have been able to handle snow on my palms, so he died! 😆 😆 😆 Oopps forgot frosty had to edit him in.
Hope you enjoyed my snow palms.

It really looks like Frosty may have knocked back to many frosty ones,if you know what I mean.
Love seeing palms covered in snow!
Kind of reminds me of Cali,with the palms foreground and snow covered mountains in the backdrop-eyecandy!

Palms didn't seem to mind the snow but Frosty did. Go figure!
How much snow did you guys get over there? We only had maybe half an inch around Springfield. Looks like you may have gotten the same.

Ryan,
We got 1-2 inches I guess, it was mixed in with rain so it froze up a little the next morning. Should be all gone tomorrow I'd guess since the sun will be out. Did you have yours covered?

Yep. I had the big trachy covered with a insulated box since just after Thanksgiving and the smaller trachy I just threw a trash barrel over. Here's the smaller trachy taken back in the early spring. Pushed out two new fronds over the summer. I'll have to get some pictures of the big one in the spring. It's actually pretty ugly looking since it was shade grown where I got it. Tall and lanky fronds.

That's a nice palm you have there Ryan. I'm going to get you on the Carl Pool plan next year along with some other things so it pushes out 14 fronds minimum.
How does that sound!

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

He'll be fine Aaron:D . He didn't flush this year so he gets to see a bit of cold first before he gets covered 😈

Yea...a little torture to keep the spirts up. If moral does not improve the beatings will continue. 😈 😆

Great pics Bill. We got our first snow here today. About 5cm. About the same as you. They are calling for a big storm here on Wednesday 15-20 mil of rain and a possible 15-20cm of snow... Blah... I don't have winter boots yet!

My parents in Sydenham already have snow...
Here in T.O. they are calling for 5cm in the north of the city and 2cm by the lake. I wonder how it will play out?

Trust me guys we are way better off here then what Jim's going to have to deal with. They are having 80mph gusts with this storm that's coming.

Great pics!
Palms 1, snowman 0.
The purpose of snow on palms is for dusting fronds 😆 😆
