Trouble is whats under snow here is going to be under water when it melts ,not like its a light dusting.
At least it keeps the pigeons off...
No snow here. Crops are being freeze blasted and shrinking by the hour. Bound to be loosing tillers and no let up forecast for this week. Not what we needed.
February didn't grow much this year.What February grows, March mows.

I have now,reckon its an old wives tale.no doubt snow brings some stuff from the atmosphere but not enough to make any odds.more likely the grass was lusher after it melted and folks came up with the saying but it was mostly getting protection from frost and not getting eaten.You seen this thread? http://farmingforum.org.uk/index.php?threads/n-in-snow.2676/
a blessing from the point of helping the plants to get over the cold. even 1 cm of snow cover is a good insulation.Looking for a bright side here !
I guess crops under snow are at least protected from the lower temperatures and chill factors we are getting ?
Is the snow actually a bit of a blessing ??
