Sheesh - 90% chance of 40 mph wind gusts from the SSW today. It looks like the wind advisories run all the way to Lake Michigan: I hope I don’t end up in Gary!

It looks like Diana is still gonna get an ice storm, with a winter storm to the north? March’s “lion” is returning?

I have to shelter my plants from and everything else from high winds, I have started using galvanized raised bed structures of 2 feet high and have bought one that is 3 feet high, I also have strong additional supports of galvanize for my tomato cages.

I plant in the ground and use these not as raised beds filled with soil but as walls to reduce wind damage.

“I hope I don’t end up in Gary!”

I wouldn’t wish THAT on my worst enemy, LOL!

We dodged the bullet! The ice and snow went NORTH. They had some 1/2 inch hail to deal with. I’m looking for some photos and articles on that mess.

We’ve had big hail come through here from time to time. Mom’s van got all dinged up one spring, and the car dealerships had a lot of ‘Scratch & Dent’ sales. But the siding and roofing guys were happy, LOL!
