Side Yard October First

10-1-2012

I woke up this morning to a snow storm, we could get another 5 inches today.

 

Last autumn we were dry, we had not had a frost when this picture was taken but notice the lawn was completely brown. We ended the year being extremely dry so the snow falls of late winter are actually welcomed to replenish ground moisture. We will need a slow melt so the melt will sink into the top soil rather than just run off. The extended forecast doesn't give us a warmup until the beginning of April.
