Planted Questions

a flurry of snow stories   

1. With news of salt reserves running low, crews in Minnesota, who are used to dealing with snow on the roads, have found they can cut salt use by 60 per cent by "pre-wetting it with brine".

3. If things are looking bleak outside right now, take comfort from this video from Norwegian blogger Eirik Solhiem, which shows the changing view of woodland from his house over the course of a year.
