It is now 40F. I wonder if it IS headed your way. Will that be okay for your garden. I prefer to not have the snow melt at this time of year. I really need the snow cover for later in Jan-Apr when it goes nuts. Except for one year when the snow was two feet high on 18" raised beds. Took forever for it to melt. I was wading through snow to plant in the raised beds that had cleared of snow and the top few inches were thawed enough for lettuce and such.
