It's Iowa! What can I say

We have been very fortunate this winter that we didn't order and plant trees as they would most likely have all died. Starting in December of 2009 we had snow storm after snow storm followed by a blizzard then an ice storm. Not a good way to end the year. This year we had one of the coldest January's on record with temps below -0 for over two weeks! We finally get a break and get a weeks worth of warm weather (above 32) and now we once again are punished with an ice storm!

January is nearly over (thank god) but we still have a long way to go before we can think about waving the white stuff goodbye and putting to bed another hard Iowa winter.

We are hopeful once we get our trees in the ground (2011) that mother nature will bless us with some decent weather and not try to kill our plantation.
