While out walking the dog I came across this mullein weed growing on the edge of a neighbor’s property.  The mullein caught my eye because it stands more than 8 feet high – one of the tallest I’ve seen.  After spotting it, this bit of weather folklore popped into mind:

As high as the weeds grow, so will the banks of snow.

 :shock:

chief-david:
in today's world, I would count it as a weed. 

200 years ago. Natural prairie.  So maybe we are off the hook with 8ft of snow.

Or, maybe they mean total for the season. Not all at once.


I hate snow.

#-o That's like me in Tucson saying I hate heat. Maybe time for a relocation?  :-k

chief-david:
I would love to relocate to Tucson---for half the year.

 :lol: Half your state already does. Just get in line!
