About 4" of snow fell last Thursday, and it's still melting. The storm was very windy, and drifts piled up in lots of places. My leafed-out Golden Currant shrub (Ribes aureum), fortunately very hardy and apparently unbothered by snow, is sitting in a pile of it (left). So many leafed-out plants have been hit with frost, but so far everything looks OK.The nice thing about spring snows is that they're usually full of water, so they're a good slow-release water supply for nearby plants. I usually shovel as much as I can on the ground around my perennials & shrubs.
Skiing at Wolf Creek yesterday was great - much new snow that was still fairly light early in the day, but became heavier to ski through as the day passed and temperatures warmed. Crowds of skiiers were non-existent. Maybe the last ski of the season?
