It's not just humans that shudder from the cold-many lawns and plants aren't looking their best. If your lawn is brown, don't despair. This is called dessication and it's a big word for "dried up".The cold freezes the roots and thus the lawn is unable to absorb water. However, the grass plants are not dead and they should recover naturally as weather warms up.
Even some of our hardiest plants have suffered the same effect. Some damage can be seen now but some may not show up until the spring which may mean we'll have a messier spring. Most evergreen plants to shed more than normal the amount of leaves when they break bud but don't worry, we'll have our rakes and blowers ready!
