The ditch in front of our house looked like a skating pond for awhile when the polar vortex hit right after a big rain. We're in for rain this week, too, though it might turn to ice--yikes! All in all, I'd rather have snow.

We do get rains like that periodically, but our ground doesn't freeze in the winter. The soil will absorb the water, though low lying areas will flood temporarily. Fortunately there is no danger of that in my garden, as we are near the top of a small mountain, so it all drains quickly. I do sometimes have to replace washed away mulch. debsgardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15656883577922890561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1376606540097525538.post-6303860127007204922019-02-10T13:00:52.026-05:002019-02-10T13:00:52.026-05:00Yikes!

It was beautiful, but oh so treacherous. The driveway is a skating rink. Like you, I'm worried about the plants, too. How can they possibly survive the ice and the dramatic freeze-thaw-freeze-thaw that we're experiencing this winter. I'm trying to prepare myself for some losses.

Last week's intense downpour flooded a friend's condo complex and the residents had to form a bucket brigade to clear their communal driveway just to get their cars out.
