Thank you, Igor.
A very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you too.
Glad you're getting a reprieve from the cold.
Great protection job!
No wonder your palms look so good.

I don't know how the palms will be looking in April. Just reminding this is their first winter out there...

The protection temps sounded pretty good, so you can be optimistic about your work.

Hey OPPalm, how about this nice winter so far in our area? Over here in Raytown my palms have only been down to 20F once so far! Along my south wall/foundation the lowest temp has been 27f! I have not supplied any heat yet; a few more months to go though. 😉
Good luck over there!

Topic starter
you are so right kcpalms. our winter has been nice so far. I have 2 of my palms on a 20F/30F thermocube with heat and it has not turned on yet. Its just a matter of time at this point.
just so the rest of the people know, kcpalms and oppalm are about 15 miles apart. kcpalms lives on the east side of kansas city and I (oppalm) live on the south west side of the city.
Kent in Kansas
where it's cold in winter (always)
and hot in summer (usually)

Nice that you two palm fanatics live so close, Kent.
I forgot how far away KNNN (Steve) is from you, but he's not around much any more. 😥
Enjoy your non-winter, guys!

Since outside temperature was above freezing today I was having a change checking my palms inside of the shelter... They look fine, knock on wood!

They look fabulous, Igor.
Great colour, robust leaves.
Like they haven't seen any cold at all.
Well done!

Yes, we've had it easy so far. Do you get that much different of weather where your at than the Seattle area? Like in a lot of snow usually?

Scott,
Our temps on the interior "mesa" are more like Spokane WA temps but not as much rain.
Actually closer to Idaho in temps/rainfall (right Aaron?)
We're about 1200 feet above sea level, and in a rain shadow.
Only get 12 or 13 inches precip annually.
Northern tip of Canada's only desert (as John says).
Hotter than the hubs of hell in summer with strong winds. 😐
Barb
PS--sorry I forgot you already HAVE a weather sticker!!!!
