The winter started early and cold, now this. Haven’t set any records yet, but it has been unseasonably warm and dry for a month. I watered trees and shrubs last week to avoid Winter Kill, due to the lack of any snow or rain whatsoever since Christmas. Unusually dry conditions make winter kill more of a problem here sometimes. Even moderately-sized trees can succumb to it if their roots get dry enough.
We’ll take it!
