The so-called snow storm

 get a snowstorm followed by a lot of warm the next day, they sure aren’t where my Salem is (MA) or even one in the north!  If in doubt the writers should be seeing the news from the Halloween storm in New England where some people didn’t get their power or shoveled out for over a week!  I wonder if this was taped around the time they changed producers?  I’m surprised none of the actors commented on what happened to the storm as they were taping their lines on the show?   There are a few that come from areas that got snow as kids at least so they’d have to know how dumb it looked!

the new town center is INDOORS?  Ergo, no snow.  Brady and Daniel had just come in from outside.

I’m talking about the scenes outside resident’s front doors.  No snow outside the mansion when Nicole left or very little snow on the trees.  Of course I’m sure they employ grounds keepers to keep everything nice and perhaps even shake the snow off the trees and bushes so they don’t get weighed down and the branches don’t droop.

Brady and Dan in short sleeves for jogging one minute there and then Marlena and Madison the next in coats and a few other people too – and they acted cold and shivering…so is this place not heated???  If it’s not, why would they make it an indoor place? 

And then why would the green indoor protected plants leaves turn golden/red fall like if they are in a controlled environment? 

And also, some of those plants were dusted with a bit of snow….??????????????  

Salem is in snow area (where ever it’s suppose to be), most malls, etc., that are indoors back there (and even out here in the west where is is always sunny and warm) the shopping areas are heated. 

Makes no sense to me, oh, wait, I forgot, this is Salem…never mind…  (said with incredulity here).

If they are deciduous trees, they will change colors and drop their leaves no matter where they are, inside or out.  But people don’t usually put deciduous trees in malls, just because of that.  (Speaking with experience after managing a large office building with lots of trees in lobby.  We exclusively used palms and tropical trees.) 

They tried that once in a mall in San Jose after they enclosed it (using oaks and red maples–which are VERY expensive, the maples, not the oaks) and had to change them all out because of the leaves falling all over the place.  Someone certainly wasn’t using their noodle when they made that decision.

Speaking of oaks, the city of Coral Springs (where I live) requires every new home to have at least one oak tree in the front.  The city is only 40 years old so I don’t think they considered what is going to happen after another 60 years or so.  These trees are going to be so large and drop so many leaves, AND ACORNS, they are going to have some real regrets.  Not only that, they have terribly invasive roots that are going to lift, crack, and destroy sidewalks, curbs, and streets.  And, of course, you can’t cut one down without first getting a permit and then replacing it.  With hefty fines if you don’t.

My tree is only 11 years old and is about 25 feet high.  Not only that, it must have dropped a million acorns this year.  I couldn’t believe a tree could make that many…they were EVERYWHERE.  And, of course, that brought lots of squirrels for my dogs to bark at.

I guess I have word diarrhea today…sorry.
