If your soil is dry, it might be a great day to squeeze in some winter watering before the wind comes back!

We've had a warm fall/early winter and lots of wind in parts of the state. If you don't have snow cover and the soil is dry, consider getting out the hose and giving your trees a drink (especially evergreens).
