    Yep, that's the one. Put him in there this year after the public schools were so completely ineffectual with distance ed at the end of last year. Great decision.

    I’m in Vancouver. About an hour ago took a tape measure out and had about 10 inches and it’s still coming down heavy

    6.5 inches of snow here in N.E. Portland!
    Busy streets through town are pretty bad. Tons of cars abandoned on the sides of the roads. ALMOST didn't get home on our backstreets coming up the hills here in Alameda. No tire tracks whatsoever to drive in here. Thanks god for that All-Wheel Drive baby! Made it home from work safe.

    Actually this wind up here is brutal. Our newish bamboo we planted in August is all bent over from it. Looks like they all snapped today while I was at work. That would be a very expensive fix.

    I thought bamboo was supposed to be one of the heartiest plants out there

    Shit I hope so. Mine are bent all the way to the ground. Probably a combo of the ice and wind. The wind right now in our back yard is gusting to 50+! Few trees down around the neighborhood.

    Damn..well plants are pretty resilient..in 2019 when we got around 2 feet, all the bushes in the field across from my house were basically flattened. It was crazy to be able to look across the whole field, but they all recovered. I think your bamboo will be fine.
