After The Ice Storm
Filed Under ohio weather | 1 Comment
We’ve been without power for almost 24 hours from an ice storm that came through last night. It’s beautiful reflecting off the trees in the sun this morning, but our trees and yard are not very pretty. It looks like a war zone.
We have some major branches down on some of our oldest trees. Some of our trees are going to be a complete loss. One of my favorites, a lilac bush, appears to be split down the middle.
We’ll be trimming and picking up branches for weeks! Talk about spring clean up!

Ohio Weather
Filed Under ohio weather | 1 Comment
If you don’t like the weather in Ohio wait until tomorrow is the saying I hear on a regular basis. In this case it is the opposite. The weather has been great for about the last week, highs in the 60’s and 70’s, with plenty of sunshine. The week before that it was rain, rain, rain and floods. Now we are cold and windy for the next several days, with snow flurries. Ughhh!
My daffodils are blooming, but will they survive the cold? Most plants and flowers that come up this time of year can handle freezing temperatures (such as daffodils, violas, tulips, strawberry plants). They may get a little nip from the cold, but the plants will survive. Annuals and tender perennials, or plants that have been in a nursery and are not used to the cold may have a problem. You may want to bring these types of plants in or cover them up, if the temperatures dip below freezing.
