What 12" of Snow Looks Like
Biggest snow in 3 years. Heavy and wet, equal to 1.25" of rain. It's absolutely gorgeous outside--warm ski weather.

I am so jealous.
Everything looks so calm and peaceful shrouded in snow. Beautiful.
Love the droplets!
I remember the 1982 blizzard in Denver while in high school...36" on the level, even a few 8' drifts. Should be interesting to see it all melt...it melts fast or slowly there? (assuming you take some photos of that process!)
Mr. S.--move to Nebraska. It's the same, just more cattle.
Teresa--sans snowblowers:)
Kylee--ditto
DD--I say it'll last 2-3 weeks, but you never know, temps go up and down (70 a week ago). March 1 tends to be the spring tipping point. I'm from MN, where in 1991 we had a storm very much like your Denver one, 30 some inches and windy. That might have been the year of -60 wind chill.
Love your snow..I love taking pictures during and after a snow when everything is covered in a layer of white
Are you a shrub shaker and snow sweeper, or do you just let your plants deal with it?
Donna--IT was gorgeous this morning, since we had frozen fog too!
Les--We don't usually get 12" of heavy wet snow, so I shook 6 shrubs or so, which haven't recovered. Had a 14' smoke bush touching the ground--not cool. Otherwise, I let them deal. Sad thing our only other snow was 3" 2 months ago, heavy and wet, and that flattened the perennials. No winter interest this year!
The grasses should be provided with the essential nutrients since these cannot be provided by the soil in all seasons of the year. Therefore, you are required to apply proper fertilisers as per its requirements in different seasons. This is one of the ways of maintaining the health of your lawn and Palmetto.
What a beautiful snow. I love your water drops. I take lots of water drops; from icicles and also drops after they hit a puddle. I've been enjoying your site.
