Our challenge is the warm Chinook winds which blow in periodically over the winter from Oregon.
If a Chinook lasts more than a few days, some plants will think that it is spring, and begin growth.
Only to be frozen by a blast of winter.
A good snow cover and good mulch are necessary to protect the plants so they do not experience spring before winter is done.
