Blizzard-Tough Low Tunnels

Finally, this year, Wisconsin weather lives up to its reputation. I was hoping to test the snow and wind strength of the low tunnels last year but the winter was unseasonably mild with hardly any snowfall. This December, just in time for the holidays, Madison was walloped with a sixteen inch plus snow storm with winds in excess of 20 mph.

I've included some photos of the first of three low tunnel clean-ups. After some of the snow melted in January, I was able to harvest some celeriac that I'd been holding over since this summer.
