Ug, Got up this morning to a couple inches of wet heavy snow here is Northern Michigan. It broke off one of my big trees and my Lilacs were starting to open now you can't see them for the snow and it looks like a big branch is broken at the ground.

Wow! Do you think the lilacs will survive or will you lose them?

I think they will be fine once the snow is off them but they are talking a hard freeze for tomorrow night so they may be lost. I worry about the Apple farm near by he said it it gets to 28 degrees he will loose his crop they are all in bloom. The tree that fell is on top of my flowering crab and that was in bloom too. Maybe the branches will protect it from the frost.

That is so hard to believe. Sorry for the damage it caused.

Ok I am ready to move near you. Call me crazy if you want but I don't like the heat. I will have to divorce hubby first, just kidding.

We have that wonderful white stuff also.

Had a couple of flashes where the power went out and then back on, I thought my computer was blowing up! The wind is blowing so trees are probably hitting on power lines. Woa there it went again. Thinking I better shut down for a while.

We are supposed to get that white stuff here tonight and tomorrow. You really don't have to share though, I'm liking the green grass.
