still more snow...

The snow finally stopped around midnight last night. According to DFW airport, we officially had 11 inches. I'm further south, and I think around 9 is more like it... lost a few branches in the neighborhood, but the power stayed on. They lost it in some spots in Dallas though...

And the Agave so you can compare it to yesterdays pic...

I don't think I lost any plants, most of mine are known to be hardy thru zone 7 and I'm on the line of 7 & 8.

A little quick research tells me that the highest snowfall ever recorded in Dallas was 14 inches, in the winter of 1977 to 78. Which would have been hideous...imagine having to be cold AND the added humiliation of wearing bell bottoms...

I went out this morning and shoveled the snow off my sidewalk, then went down and got the walks of Miss D and Miss M... the elderly ladies that live down the street, and then I did Miss P's next door... I would have gotten a few more, but the snow had gotten into my boots... my charitable instinct would appear to end with wet socks.
