My apartment plants are doing marginally well. Serious neglect when I was gone for >3 weeks. A few deaths, a few on death's door.
Today, it is so amazingly warm (71oF, 22oC) that I set a few of the smaller ones outside for a few hours:

Some very good ones are hanging in there.
A little TLC will help.
Enjoy the warmth...it's so cold here, I've filled the bird feeder twice today...the poor birds.

16oF ? That is the lowest we've had yet. Everyone is talking about the winter that never happened, coming on the heels of the hottest summer ever.
The pessimist in me remembers February--colder than the south pole, etc.
Keep feeding the birds! They may need to give up and fly down here. 😀

Alas, all back inside now as we are expecting a bit of your cold to arrive soon.
