Okay, tonight I had to take things like bougs, natal plums, and things that have already been repotted into the garage. After several nights in the 40s we have one last night where we will likely freeze. I think this is it, though. Projected lows low to mid 40's for the next 10 days.

I put all my trees in rubbermaid bins, mulched them, and put them beside my shed. We just got some rain and a little snow over the weekend. I go out to check and my bins are just a giant block of ice with some sticks on top. I forgot to poke holes in the bottoms of the bins...
It's going to be 60 here on Thursday.
Winter is not fun.

It was around -31 C last night with the wind chill and I noticed moon dogs around 4:00 am... although, they aren't super rare, it's rare that I am wake enough at that time of the night to notice them... they looked really cool, and of course I didn't have a high enough quality camera to get a picture.

I had to bring a dozen or so of my Ficus and other tropicals inside to the kitchen table on Sunday evening. It got down to 38f. Fortunately, its warming back up to the mid 50f-60f. Hopefully, winter is over for the year here in FL.

I know... I spent most of my life out west. Spent my childhood in the mountain forests surrounded my pine, spruce and aspen. Arizona and Colorado mainly... lived in Albuquerque for about 2 years. I miss the mountains and the views... I don't miss the cold and snow. These are the choices we make.
. Was in the 50's here yesterday, but they are predicting freezing rain and ice starting tomorrow afternoon through Saturday.

Well we may be in for some snow here next week which is completely unheard of for this region. I can bring my ficus inside easy enough but have a number of saplings that I need to work out what to do with.
Didn't really think this would be a problem.

I kept mine in 3+ inches of water all Winter except for a few days when we had these screwy warm spells. I slipped the frozen block out of the clear container and placed them on the ground allowing them to thaw and the water to flow through the soil. Then back in to freeze yet again. They are the only plants I mess with all Winter along with the Willow although they have all been watered 3 times so far.

My trees are frozen solid in a block of ice. It's supposed to get into the 40s for the next week or so.
I'm not worried though. They arent going to thaw out in a week.
I check for signs of vole activity every week though. That's my biggest worry. Not thawing. They're trees. Outside. Nothing I can do about weather.
