In like a rabid lion...

March is off to a very cold start.  Today at the farm we awoke to 8-below zero, and the rest of the week looks cold as well.  We have a good 18"-24" of snow on the ground.  Over the weekend, I managed to complete pruning & releasing of the remaining 5 apple trees on my WHIP contract.  It was not fun, but the images below can best describe our recent winter weather:  Bleak, cold, snowy & miserable.
