Wow - the snow mould here is insane!

[u4ic]

No wonder why my allergies are acting up big time. x(

It looks like cotton fields out there. I've never seen it this bad. :scared: :scared: :scared:



Anybody else suffering?

1. I have never seen snow mould

But I do have allergies :hi:

[u4ic]

2. Have you ever seen

snow?? :P


Hello, m'friend! How are you this afternoon? :hi:

[Guava Jelly]

5. Way to much this year.

I am fine.
Just wrapped up a little work so now it's playtime.
I hope all is grand with you. :hug:

3. Is snow mould related to Bob Mould?

In other words, help an ignernt 'Mercan. :D

[u4ic]

8. If he is,

then I can kick both of their asses.:P

[DarkmoonIkonoklast]

4. Deep, eh?

   So how deep IS it, love? And can you get in and out?

[u4ic]

9. It's quite hard, to be honest

and concerning the former....oh, about 9 inches.

[Aristus]

6. I've never even HEARD of snow mould before.

Must be really bad. Sorry to hear it's kicking up your allergies, u4ic. Get better soon. :hug:

[u4ic]

10. Thanks, hon

:hug:

I'm hearing from quite a few other people that their allergies are pretty bad, too. I'm trying to keep it at bay with meds. :hi:

7. Snow mold?

I should know this being in the same climate. I thought that was what happens to (and kills) grass if you don't rake your leaves.... :shrug:

However, being allergic to mold (or mould :)), I totally understand. Living in No. Cal. in the winter was a nightmare for my sinuses.

(How are you, U4ic? Any signs of Spring yet?)

:hi:

11. Hi Zookeeper!

How are you doing? I remember a week or so ago that you weren't doing so well. :hug:

Snow mould usually occurs after snow has been on the ground for quite a long time, and it starts melting and moistening the ground underneath. We've had this snow since October...so there's a lot of it.

This is what it looks like:




Most of the lawn hasn't melted, but there are huge swatches of it where it has. I don't even want to think about how I'll be when the rest of it melts...:scared: (tip: buy Kleenex shares now...)


:hi:

[Zookeeper]

12. You know, that looks familiar, U4ic....

It's just been too many years since we've had a constant layer of snow on the ground. :(

I hope the snow mold dries up quickly and you aren't too miserable. :hug:

I have been feeling a bit better, thanks for asking. However, it appears that a new crisis is brewing with my #1 son. *Sigh* I'll just buckle my seat belt....

:hi:

[u4ic]

13. I hope it's not too much of a bumpy ride...

:hug:
