Wintertime also brings snow and the joys of a white garden.

	Sometimes its hard to see the forest because of the flakes.
Snow acts as an insulator, protecting the buds and stems of some of the marginally hardy rhododendrons.
	Of course, it also means that you may want to brush some of the snow off of the rhodies before the branches get too heavy and start to break under the weight of the snow.
When the snow starts melting off of the plants (or just blowing off in the wind), they are again exposed to the winter cold.
	Most rhododendrons will curl their leaves and droop when the temperature gets in the low 20's.

But Wait. There's still more
