Snow
It has been snowing heavily for quite a while now. It is unusual to see snow down here. We will see how cold it gets tonight and the damage it brings.

Re: Snow
It has not stopped snowing all day. Nothing sticks as it is too warm, but it has been coming down hard.
Re: Snow
It is definitely sticking here. I've got most of the bamboo protected. The only one I'm scared for is the D. giganteus in the big tub that I got from you. I just don't have any way to protect it.

Not sure if this will work, but a quick walk through of my back yard...

Re: Snow
Wow... your jungle is growing. It is supposed to get down to 32F here tonight. I am a little worried about the Schizostachyum Brachycladum I put in the ground this past year. It has several new shoots.
What are you using to shoot the videos? I have been using a Kodak Zi8 and it does a great job. Best true HD pocket camcorder for less than $150.

Nothing special, but an HD video camera for $49? C'mon! You can't expect gold.

Re: Snow
Stopped snowing at 4:30. It is still only 34, but sky is clear. Fingers crossed for nothing below 27.

Re: Snow
I just hit 29. I am going out to see how bad the frost is if we have any.

Re: Snow
First snow of the year in Middle Tennessee! Very beautiful- it stuck to everything- the bamboo and cedar trees are/were absolutely gorgeous! It was also convenient as it has melted and the sun has come out.

Re: Snow
A few pictures... most are blurry because I was freezing and couldn't hold the camera still.
