Yes...I understand they are forecasting that the Polar Vortex is going to be wobbly this year and colder temps and lost of snow further south of the Arctic Circle...

Re: Corbin

Corbin just one but more of a ground frost, If it had been severe birds would have taken them. We must beware though The Beast from the East is supposedly arriving soon.

That is a lovely Christmas surprise. Years ago, when my grandmother had my house, she had an apple and a pear tree, but both ended up dying. I'd like to get new ones started again.

We had apples on our tree in the back yard, then something or someone ate them or took them. They are all gone now. We all want to get in better health at this time of the year, it seems.
