Started snowing this morning with big heavy wet flakes. This type of snow, early spring with the ground above freezing, is called a "Poor Man's Fertilizer" since the flakes will bring down nutrients from the atmosphere and actually help replenish the soil.

@kerristephens Thank you Kerri, now I don't have to fertilize the lawn :) @marilyn Thank you Marilyn, my father grew up in the midwest where his grandfather had a farm and I heard it originally from him @westcoastwallis Thank you Paula, the door is always open :)
@katerinatina Thank you Katerina, I like the large fulfy flakes @bruni Thank you Bruni, actually this one I did, it never got down to freezing @sangwann Thank you Dione, I was hoping for this type of snow
I never knew that before! It's a good thing we're getting this light dusting of snow then, as it's far too cold to carry out any of the usual Easter holiday chores in the garden!
