The needle looks awesome. Similar conditions here in southeast Tennessee. I've got about 2-3" and still snowing.

I recall a thread here about snow in Charleston SC a few years ago. Not just a dusting either, a foot or so of snow.

Nice pic. Looking closer, I see a nice windmill off in the distance. Is that yours or on a neighbor's property? Love it!

That's mine at the edge of the property.

A neighbor tossed seed around the neighborhood back in 1999. His father lived in Anderson, SC where there were already established Trachycarpus.

So, there are multiple houses with windmills on your block? Nice!
