Brrrrring on the snow.

Brrrrr! Is it ever cold outside. I'm glad we got a couple of inches of snow before the temperatures dropped to 0 degrees F. Snow is mother nature's thermal blanket. Well maybe not thermal, but it is insulating. Snow naturally insulates the ground and everything underground (plant roots, water and sewer pipes, etc.) from the freezing ambient air temperatures. The deeper the snow, the greater the protection. So as the temps continue to linger in the single digits and teens, be grateful for the occasional snow showers. The more snow the better.
