I hate cold weather...and so do my Brugs!!!!
Well it looks like we are going to start the new Year off with a bang! The National Weather Service has just issued freeze warnings for Sunday and Monday mornings.
This graphic above is the forecast from AccuWeather.com. I like Weather Underground's forecast better, a low of 31 for both Sunday and Monday mornings. Two degrees can make a big difference with my Angel Trumpets. I have found Weather Underground to be historically more accurate around here than AccuWeather.
Well, I know what I'll be doing on Saturday. Time to pull out the trusty frost cloth and make sure my sprinkler heads are clean.
Bbbrrrrhhhhhhhhh!!!

We will also have our first real cold weather Sunday morning through Wednesday, so on Saturday, I, too, will be covering plants and piling up mulch around root hardy plants. If we get freezing temps for six or more hours, my angel trumpets will usually die but return in the spring. So far they have lost most of their leaves but the plants are still holding on. Of course, you have so many more to protect than I do. Good luck.

I don't mind that we have the occasional freezing night through the winter when the temp dips for an hour or so and warmth returns the next day. I hate when there are 5 consecutive nights of freezing temps and unpleasantly chilly days, a rarity. We expect dips into the low 20s in the coming nights. Even Miami is complaing, I hear.
BTW, I'm glad to see that your 'feed' is fixed.
