This photo was taken yesterday (Friday) from my phone around 2pm. We didn't have frost, it FROZE. It was 21 degrees when I woke up. In the 30 minutes it took me to clean up the leaves from this person's neighbors home, most of these GREEN leaves from these Ash trees had fallen onto the street. They were still green. We hadn't even really had a hard frost so most of the leaves are still green. Oh and it was about 50 degrees out too.The photos below were taken today, around noon, with a temperature of 28 degrees. Notice how they are still GREEN with SNOW all around. This is a Hops vine at the greenhouse I work at.
This is a MAPLE tree with all GREEN LEAVES. They are typically a lovely orangish/reddish color in the fall.
Mums still trying to bloom under the snow. And the worst part is we are forecasted for another 4-6 inches Sunday night. Ugh. I'm still not done with fall clean ups, fertilizing or pruning! Next week its supposed to be in the 50's.
We are at our record low, or made new record lows for the past 36 hours. I know from our books at the greenhouse that we did not close up shop until we had a HARD FREEZING night temps of low 20's. It was the day before Thanksgiving. That's 7 weeks or so LATER than this year! UGH. Stupid. I love the snow, but hate the cold. But if its going to be this cold it might as well snow. BRING IT!
