The temps are supposed to drop here during the day and it's supposed to start snowing late afternoon. The weather people say that this storm may move further east before really ramping up but we're only one county away from up to 8". Still gray and misty with no wind (yet).
As a rule, I haven't really used burlap for winter protection of shrubs until long-established shrubs like the cypress and holly suffered drastically in the winter of 2014. Since we had a lot of snow at the time, anything under the snow was protected. Hydrangeas that bloom on new wood were ok but those that bloom on old wood didn't flower the following year.
Only when the last tree has died and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will we realize that we can't eat money. Cree proverb
