Quite a storm


No, we aren't shoveling greens quite yet.  Just checking in on a few of our greens to check for snow mold and or an ice layer building up.  As you can see we still have a minimum of 8" of cover on our greens and at this point, we aren't terribly worried about snow mold.  We are still under the protection of our snow mold products (barely) and we had ample time to harden off prior to this storm.  Typically snow mold is far less likely when the turf plant has had the chance to fully harden off and the soil temps have dropped sufficiently prior to extended snow cover.  Certainly not a definitive rule though, there are always exceptions.  If we continue at this rate of melt, we shouldn't expect to open until the end of February/ beginning of March.... Yikes!
