Not to say "I told ya so," but I told ya so 
. This winter is a real beeotch. I said back in Feb. when it was 70-80 here in the middle Atlantic states not to take anything out of storage and try to keep things dormant for as long as possible.
We've had what five or six nor'easters with snow and heavy wind. This weekend and the week beyond will be among the most challenging of the season for everyone from New England to N.C.. We're forecast to have temps down in the mid-20's and very low 30's at night.

I have trees that are in leaf or recently repotted outside. I have been keeping all of that stuff under mulch for the last month. I plan on keeping it outside during the coming cold snap, but with heavy mulch on their roots. I also plan on spraying everything in leaf with mist before I got to bed on Saturday and Sunday, possibly into next Mon. Tues and Wed. That will help insulate new leaves from the freeze. I will get some freeze damage on leaves, but there's no way I can store everything in the basement this year. It's stuffed with all kinds of furniture and other things at this point.
Keep your fingers crossed that we get some kind of snow on Saturday. That will help a bit.. Good Luck!
