This morning, it snowed for the first time this season. As usual, a gardener snow team got the shovels out shortly after the last flake fell (a friendly super from a neighboring building usually helps with a motorized plow).
During the last two years, we got very little snow. In 2023-2024, only a little more than 2 inches fell over the entire winter. Last season was not much better. Maybe things will be different this year. Snow is good for the garden. It covers the sleeping plants with a relatively warm blanket and it provides water once it thaws. Lets hope for more of it, we’ll be ready!
