My mulch is black but sort of gray now. Every flake gets to live a life of excellence in being seen. But does take more to cover it vs. the more popular white mulch.
Martins is the other name for Giant. Giant's in Southern PA are named Martins. You must not have a long history of going to fairs in PA. Most have awards for the best chow chow.
Mulch is the great winter saver. If only roads counted, we would be right up there with the worst winter ever now. Have only had 4-6" accumulate on roads so far.
I was always suspect of those 1"+ ice maps (though not sure they are accretion vs. saying 1" of the rain would be below freezing) but surprised if things in the Laurels are not a mess.
Decent rain here and 32. We did get some sleet overnight so mulch is white...some roofs. Roads just wet but its 32 so I guess that is expected. Still fun to see some white.
