I was wondering why one of the remote temperature sensors in the garden was so much more optimistic than its colleagues. Then I remembered I was adjusting its position and had left it on the ground before the storm. Just goes to show the insulating factor of six inches of snow!

The meteorologist at The Fuchsietum has put the official snowfall total in the garden at 6.25 inches (15.9 cm). And, no, he doesn’t feel cheated that it wasn’t 11 or 12 inches like some other garden braggarts are reporting. #PortlandintheSnow

The upside of the #EvilMasterPlan & #GardenMakeover is that most of the trees & shrubs are brand new. There’s very little from which to shake loose the snow yet! #PortlandintheSnow
