What window is that you look out and see the palm from.?

one of 2 same-size dining room windows.

Nice to see it blowing in the morning breeze and sun when I get come downstairs in the morning.
Beats the back of the palm hut... 😆

Put the hut back up it is cold and snowing!!!!!

Brutal, huh, Keith? 😆

Here's a shot of it from inside that window.

Crazy weather. 😆 😆

What were your current lows when you pulled that down? I'm still getting freezing temps and can't bring myself to open anything up. Heck, I still have snow in my yard I'd have to drag all my doors and plywood through to get them put away in the shed.

What were your current lows when you pulled that down?

-5C 23F four nights in a row.
After all those months in a box, with no water/humidity, bet it loved getting wet.
Snow melted within a couple of hours.

Also I had forgotten to shut the door for a couple of nights when temps dipped to -7 and -8C last month.
Days were above freezing though.

The forecast finally shows some good weather (compared with what we had so far). Sunday the trachy hut comes down for me too. I can't wait.

I've pushed back to Sunday as well. The wet snow we had today would have been been bad weather to pull the box down in. It's getting close and I'm excited.

teebee, what's your low temps currently?

Tonight I'll apparently hit -5c 23F the lows for the rest of the week are between between -4c 26F and -1c 30F. The days are getting too hot to leave the boxes on Tuesday will be 15c 60F I don't see the cold as much of an issue for a Trachy to handle.

Just curious as I unboxed my big boy today to see most of the fronds fried and I don't want to stress it any more than it already is after this winter. We're supposed to hit 20 tonight so I put the lights back on and draped them around the crown.

to see most of the fronds fried

Oh no, Doug!

But you had C-9s on it in the box.
Did you have long power outages?

Hi Barb

your trachy made it another winter! 8) 8) 8) 8)

I bet it grows a foot this season.....how cool is that. Tell hubby to place a light on the winter enclosure so the planes don't hit it! 😆
