The east coast is reeling under another huge snow storm. D.C. has had 55 inches of snow this winter. Virginia, Maryland, and the Carolinas’ are fighting conditions they just are not equipped the deal with. We live in a well insulated house on Long Island and have fuel and power so the snow storm has not troubled us too much. Jan and Lily have been shoveling to clear the long, steep driveway, but other than that we are OK. I just feel sorry for them.
The trees may not be doing so well. The white pines are bent over but look fine. The oaks have not lost any branches and also look fine. The arbor vitae not so much. Looking out the window they I see that are bent double. Snow covers every branch and twig. Everything looks like the woods in Canada or Vermont. Also it’s bitterly cold so that it is dangerous to be outside for long. Wonder how long the snow will stay around.
