You had me with Buddleja, so off to Google/Wiki.

Well that's no help, gimme images….



Oh, pretty, but your description of carnage doesn’t jib with those images, they look like the would just lie flat.

Then this…



Oh, now I get it... it's like the aftermath of a George Bush.

Dusting here on Saturday. Enough to make a couple snowballs if you scooped it off the trunk of the car. It's all gone now. Melted.

I agree but be careful, don't put too much pressure on him to perform, he might run away.

It snowed Friday afternoon. I had a doctors appointment at 3:00 in Exton, PA, about 22 miles from home, 75% being 4 lane highways.
Left there at 3:20, got home at 7:00. Never seen anything like it, 28 degrees F, about an inch of loose well salted snow on the road, and the heat from bumper to bumper, stop and go traffic wouldn't melt it.

Heat rises. Snow falls. Everything is downhill.

Main Line Health?

Similar stories all around: it's like they got a late start and forgot that they pre-treat roads in cases like this.

No, PENN system, but this surgeon maintains his own office. I presume he joined the PENN System because the Chester County Hospital he uses joined the PENN System. I chose him because he was the only one who didn't use the system's Philly hospitals. It was a good choice as that hospital was wonderful, everyone I dealt with there was first class.

It is currently snowing outside for the second time this month.

It does not snow in Austin, dammit.

Also, it went back up to 70 degrees in between the two snows. And it will no doubt be back up there again in another week or two.
