Hardy crape myrtle

I was surprised at how well our crape myrtle came through Monday’s snowstorm, when 8.5 inches of snow weighed it down, but no branches were broken and most of the snow has melted now. Except get this: More snow is forecast for tonight, although less than the other day.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by PBase are decidedly
unsharp.

It looks like Vancouver...we had 20cm of wet heavy snow overnight...shovelling it all was quite the workout! v

Same as us…we just got another fresh
dumping. Unusual for the West coast
of BC.

That really is a thick coating of snow. Sounds like you might be having more snow photo opportunities.
