This past winter was not too kind of the palms around here. My thermometer hit 24F and some more exposed areas diped into the upper teens. This is soposed to be a 9b hardiness zone. Here are some pictures of a Washy in a drainage ditch. It was completly browned in January as far as I could tell. I stopped and took a few pictures of it as I though some of the Washy enthusiast smight enjoy it. It is coming back well despite receiving no care.

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.
