I have had more things die here in the snow then cold. My cactus don't like to be froze in ice cubes all winter, a sure way to make them rot.
I know snow protects, but when it turns to ice I hate it. 😡

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.

I wouldn't know. Snow is more of a March-thing down here. December-January-February are cold with dry windy air.
I should check the records, but I suspect we have had more white Easters than white Christmas's.

Maybe Wednesday for our first snow. That might give us a rare white Christmas.

The record for snow on the ground in Wichita on Christmas Day is 4 inches, way back in 1894.

Lowest we have been so far was 34 F last night. Very light frost. Hope we keep this up all winter.

Coldest thus far was 20 F, last Thursday morning (12/17). Prior to that the lowest had been 23 F.

Looks Like I'm in for a ride tonight, the wind is whipping steady at 20-30mph and it's already 15f at 4:30pm, there calling for 8f but I'm sure it
will be colder. Luckily everything is locked down good and strong. I wish there was still snow left from the 15+ inches we got for insulation.
I can't believe I just said I wish there was snow on the ground, scratch that I'll take my chances. I just finished covering my Brown Turkey Fig
about a hour ago, pushing my luck as always. We already had one night with a low of 5.5f, I'm not interested in beating my low from last year!
Hope everyone had a wonderful Holiday!

Bill, I'm always nervous when reading your cold weather/snow posts, because I know there's a good chance that it will be heading my way 😆

I can't believe it the weather people were right for a change, 8.8f for a low last night and 20f in the trachy huts with one string of c9s each.
There 42 inches at the base and 38 inches at the top by eight feet tall, no insulation in them just white plastic on the outside.

Lousy when they're right about cold!
Brrr indeed.
Your 15 inches snow is gone?
Our long range f/cast just changed to "Highs above freezing until mid-January".

Maybe spring is ...

Well, do to unfortunate circumstances it looks like I'll be heading to Florida on Friday since my aunt is
sick. I might end up putting another string of lights in there for piece of mind since I won't be here
for awhile.
By the way the snow is all gone except for the plow piles!
