Many forecasts this year are pointing toward a wet winter this year. We have La Nina in play and cold air rapidly building snow cover in Siberia and possibly Arctic excursions of cold air coming more into play than we did last year. It won’t take much to exceed the snowfall accumulations we had last […]

We had quite a breezy day yesterday. A good portion of the leaves blew off the trees, of course after leaf blowing and mulching over the weekend it is time to do the same once again. I am lucky enough to have woodlots to move the excess leaves to, most I mulch back into the […]
