Not trying to pull the stripes over your eyes but we are locked in to winter...got rid of the last snow the day before this one.This Arctic carpet rolled out in front of the polar express's delivery from the north pole....looks like it was-16F at the airport north of here and -10F in my yard in town-what a great micro-climate I have here!-lolBefore it snowed I reinforced the Washy,Nainital,Princeps,Fortunei,Martianus(already prettyfried-spear is growing though)FortxWag and the bigger Waggie.The Princeps stayed 57-60F all night,this should be warm enough to keep the leaf tips touching the enclosure from burning..<a href="http://s297.photobucket.com/user/orbea641/media/orbea641020/100_7718_zpsf84930b9.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm220/orbea641/orbea641020/100_7718_zpsf84930b9.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo 100_7718_zpsf84930b9.jpg"/></a> Stiff Sequoia <a href="http://s297.photobucket.com/user/orbea641/media/orbea641020/100_7719_zpsd59fe692.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm220/orbea641/orbea641020/100_7719_zpsd59fe692.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo 100_7719_zpsd59fe692.jpg"/></a>Temp was staying above freezing(37F)last night in the cactus enclosure with 4-5" of snow,1" bubble wrap and PVC clear plastic(this cuts down on the drips) insulating it...I turned on the heat anyway,you never know how cold those outer edges get,although they are covered in snow.<a href="http://s297.photobucket.com/user/orbea641/media/orbea641020/100_7720_zpsebc92554.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm220/orbea641/orbea641020/100_7720_zpsebc92554.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo 100_7720_zpsebc92554.jpg"/></a><a href="http://www.wunderground.com/US/IA/Fairfield.html?bannertypeclick=miniDial"><img src="http://banners.wunderground.com/weathersticker/miniDial/language/www/US/IA/Fairfield.gif" border=0Thanks for looking!<a href="http://s297.photobucket.com/user/orbea641/media/Spring2012continued/100_6974_zps17b751c1.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm220/orbea641/Spring2012continued/100_6974_zps17b751c1.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo 100_6974_zps17b751c1.jpg"/></a>
