Wanting to comment I started to wonder what I would want to read if our situations were reversed I and were the one in need of some uplifting thoughts. Swear words would be involved for sure, but I don't know you well enough to use them here. I'll just say "this really sucks!"

Oh, after hearing about last winter and now the beginning of this one, I am so glad I moved from Massachusetts to western Washington state three years ago! I do not miss the snow one bit. It doesn't stay pretty for long.

So far so good – keeping up with the snow on the greenhouse,still scary— cause the winds are picking up to 40 MPH, and the trees are snappin! Ive lost about 4 panes of glass so far.I think I am going to give up shaking the snow off of the japanese maples, it's sad, but you can't fight mother nature, right? At least the electricity is still on. Terryk – We are just exhausted from rushing to move in all of the larger plants, many of which I was planning to keep outdoors until Thanksgiving ( camellia's, and heavy pots of olives and agapanthus). You should see what the greenhouse looks like inside – crowded! Need a week to reorganize.

You must be exhausted. So far no trees down, electric still on, but no snowblower. We put it into the shop for a tune up and it was not ready. I can not imagine trying to keep the snow off a greenhouse! Good luck, hope you don't loose too many treasures.
