Same. One bad week of winter maybe a few other days. We got 15 -18 inches during the blizzard, the winds were 50+ mph for a couple days. That was totally normal, but before that it really never got cold. The ground was dryer than normal and never got a hard freeze. We weren’t able to get to our greenhouse to clear it and it collapsed. Wasn’t the weight of the snow as much as that weight bouncing up and down as the winds pummeled it.

Now with the warmup the snow isn’t even puddling anywhere just going straight down into the soil. We’ve noticed more rabbit tracks in what’s left of the snow and the feral cats are rebounding well must be having a ball getting all the little critters. Last fall in anticipation of an easier winter we cut back the grasses around the garden for tick control but I believe some chemical protection will be necessary this year.

If we don’t get good rains it’s gonna get dry up here we haven’t had the rains like downstate.

It’ll be what it’ll be…just gotta deal with it.
