Dirt, that is all the snow you have? I thought you would have a lot more than that. Love the snow covered semps peeking out.

Jo Ann, my favorite is the middle back row container. The form and color is fantastic.

And this is what they look like 5 minutes ago. And it's still snowing. I would say we have around 2 inches now.

Must be on it's way north, nothing here yet.

I think it is still busy down here. You probably get your turn tomorrow.

Well, it's really coming down right now...but, yeah, we've only had a few inches here and there so far this season with some melting in between, so that's what it looked like in a sunny spot this morning. Tomorrow will be a different story...

No snow in Salem or at least at my house at 200' above sea level. Am always surprised when I climb the 1000' to the Salem Hills and it's icy!

We are at 300 feet, and no snow. Just verrrrry cold.

Yes, here, the next 7-10 days the overnight lows range from 5 below 0 to 25 below 0, And that's actual air temps. Wind chills add another negative 10 degrees. Ugly!! AND, some of the daytime highs are expercted to be 10 below 0. On the plus side, it's mostly too cold to snow.

Ooh, Kate! Sounds very "Brrr..." to me and I'm glad I'm not where you are. Don't think I could take temps like that. Anyway, Stay Warm and have a great New Year!

We were sunny and 60 on Christmas for the high. Today was 68! Our lowest this winter was 16 degrees one day and we've had one 3 inch snow here in New Mexico.

Yikes I remember that sort of winter when I was a kid. One New Years morning it was -32 F and with BLOWING SNOW. My comment, "Why are we living here?". Of course fall is beautiful in MA but I'm too old for the severe weather any more. Oregonians are weather wimps!

The good news is that, other than 'Commander Hay' I never lost a semp to winter cold in MA. The Commander and I said farewell to each other every year until I finally decided I didn't need or want him in my breeding program. Oddly, 'Hayling', its kid, lived but even it really didn't prosper.

Oh so cold, yes I'm a wimp. Snow is beautiful in the mountains.

Tonight as the sun went down. Just a bit later as it's the 27 th now!

I'm a total wimp too. It's 21 degrees now and will fall to 16 degrees by early morning.

We are in the high 30's today. And yes, and am a wimp when it comes to cold. Didn't used to be, but sure am now.

Julia that is one gorgeous photo.

It is 16 here - which is warmer than 2 days ago. Expecting about 6 inches of snow - so I'd better run to the store and buy some ice cream - like a proper Ohioan.

Indeed, better go get some ice cream

We got some Christmas snow, thankfully not the bitter cold

ooh, check out the form and color on that one on the left

actually, it's even been warm enough for some daytime melting again and this poor little gentian is confused

While you two go out for ice cream I will go get a canoe. It is in the 50's and heavy rain here. It's suppose to turn cold again this weekend.
Lots of plants really confused right now. Even had one of my daffodils blooming.

Dirt I really like the snow lily form of the left.

Wow, spring plants blooming in the snow. Pretty!

Our temps have been highs of less than 5 deg. Tonight we'll see -14 below. Just ugly, ugly temps. Supposed to get a total of 2 weeks of this. So happy we have a few inches of snow - hope it's enough to protect the semps.

Hope all goes well with the semps getting thru those nasty temps, Chris!

Also Happy New Year and Good Health to all you good people!

Happy New Year, Bev and all the rest of the semp addicts!
