On the first day of January 2020 there is a view of foot or more of snow all around the house Frigid.

Temperatures slowly rose to 60 degrees. Snow melting and leaving a flood on the north side of the garden all the way to the house.

There is still a little snow in front of the house because this is a very shady area. But even here the warm temperatures melted much of the snow.

The weather has been so mild that this southern area where I have herbs growing has protected the parsley. The fallen leaves helped. On January 15, the sun keeps shining, temperatures in the 40’s, but over night winter returned.
