We'll see how accurate Accuweather is.......a low of 5F sounds good for your area. Accuweather has a low of 14F for me! 😀

The "threatened" December arctic blast didn't happen...yet.
Yippeeeee.

Thermocube in leaf-bag protection for 2 Washies hasn't kicked on at all
(since I pulled the flimsy plastic-only protection apart and added the leaf-filled bags).

Now they're threatening real cold mid-January.
So far, better than last year!

Barb,
You should try more yuccas. Your winter weather seems better than mine down here.

Looking at your weather sticker -3C and mine at -12C 🙂

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.

These 3 y.rostrata out front are plenty. 😆 😆
H is determined to cover the entire property with landscape cloth and gravel so I can't plant anything else anywhere.
But have 2 Big Mommas to plant in a year or two.

try more yuccas

That'd trigger a new Ice Age.

Yeah, I noticed your temp too 😯
Come north and warm up.

Barb,

do you have a Yucca elata? These grow tall like palms and are the hardiest of all southwest trunked Yuccas. I don't protect mine....here it is the other day after a snow.

I thought my funny-looking one with the strange trunk (in a pot) was an elata.
Nobody was firm on an ID.

I absolutely LOVE that yucca/snow pic!

...and since it looks like a palm 😆 😆 😆 just might try one 😆

Hi Barb,

your unknown Yucca may be an elata.........plant it outside and if it gets huge it's an elata.......if it stays small it's probably a form of glauca or angustissima. If your's ever blooms we'll know if it's an elata since elata blooms are different from glauca/angustissima.

Will post a new yucca topic.

Jesse, thanks for getting us back to weather topic 😆 😆

For your area it seems relatively normal. According to the map, Im on the cusp of warmer then average, which is pretty much what ive seen.

I could use more snow though, I barely have 2 inches...
