Last night's low was about 27F. Some things are showing some real freezer burn on new foliage. My dawn redwood looks really bad. The Japanese maples too. Clethra barbinervis was wilted lettuce first thing this AM. Other things took longer.

On a positive note, it didn't get as cold as they predicted, and damage was less severe than I expected. On a negative note, tonight's low could get to 18F. Saturday night's: 20F. Sunday a little warmer, but below freezing. Easily twenty degrees below normal through the next five days, and setting record lows on each day.

In another thread, I'll show a few pictures of things that look okay so far.
