I'll have to remember this tip for next winter!

You never know when a good snowy tip might help. I came in from working in the garden earlier - it's real close to 100 degrees out there today - I looked at the snow covered evergreen in the thumbnail and I swear it helped cool me down.

It really is an excellent tip; now we know it can serve two purposes for two seasons!

When I saw the pic yesterday, it was the same way... I was hot and sweaty, and the pic reminded me of cooler weather, and it really did make me feel more comfortable.

I learned this the hard way a few years ago when we had heavy amounts of snow dumped on us over a 24 hour period. Many trees and bushes around town had broken branches or split. We had damage too but everything recovered. Now I am ready with the broom when I know heavy snow is headed our way.

Good tip for people to "star" for later reference.

LOL that is funny to see my little tree covered in snow at this time of year! I don't rememeber when I posted this tip? Although, I have to agree, it did serve as a nice cooling visual aid!

I think it's a wonderful tip .... if you can reach the tree.

I do brush snow off of other plants that might be damaged by snow, but my white fir is on it's own.
