I wouldn’t be able to get used to living in the desert and don’t have the desire to ever do so. Can’t deal with the lack of greenery.
We could do with less rain for a while, for sure. The ground’s awfully soft and if we get strong enough winds with one of these fronts, trees can go over easily. :-(
Also, if it freezes before the rain stops, it could cause the tree branches to ice up and break the limbs. You sure don’t need that...you’re still cleaning up after the tornado!
We had one of those kinds of ice storms 3 years ago, and nearly every tree in town lost branches...big ones. The ice was so thick I couldn’t knock ir off like I usually do to relieve the branches of the weight. Luckily, though, we only lost one small branch.
