A snowy U.A.E
We have escaped any snow here in central uk for the moment I think the United Arab Emirates may have had it. I still have Oleander holding on to full size pink flower buds and another Ochavia carnea still in bud. Link

Re: A snowy U.A.E
The climate is odd. I have seen for weeks now daffodils and camellias flowering all over the place - even before the snowdrops. This has been happening for a few years now. It has meant that my usual trips to Bodnant at Easter to see the daffodils, camellias and magnolias have been rewarded the last few years by nothing more than the brown remains of the flowers. I am testing lots of plants outside this year, although I have just sold my house so will probably not get to see if it has been successful or not.

If you like snow, here's a couple photos from my daughters university in Maine, USA.

Re: A snowy U.A.E
Nice pics Tim. It seems that Sudden Stratospheric Warming events usually end with killer winters in the eastern USA never on the western side. Mind you Maine isn't that far from Quebec, Canada so not exactly mild Winters anyway.

Re: A snowy U.A.E
Tim that is huge heap of snow I guess those cars were not going anywhere soon. Here in the UK a half inch of snowfall would bring the whole country to a stand still as it invariably does each year

Re: A snowy U.A.E
Wow that is quite some snowfall and surprised about the U.A.E I've not had any settled snow here and I'm sure my balcony has not gone much below 0. My potted clianthus have been untouched (which is good as it's their first winter from germinating them. I have some non hardy fuschia which I left in window boxes outside the shop and also on my balcony in fleece - they were cut back by the cold but are already resprouting from the stems.
