It's 10/26/05. We've had one frost, and two snowstorms! The frost didn't kill all the flowers, but the snow did a number on the trees. Last night we got about a foot of wet, heavy snow. It cracked one of my apple trees, flattened both of my ancient lilac trees, caused many trees in my woods to fall, and who knows what else. I don't remember ever going from picking zinnias last week to a foot of snow on the ground this week!
Normally the ground freezes before the snow comes. Any ideas what this will do to perrenials? It is better for them to freeze first, then get mulched (by snow) or better for the snow to insulate saturated cold wet mud?
