Well, a day later the stuff finally made it to the Sunny South;
brrr. 30° since who knows when this morning but still holding as I type
this (08:25AM). Clear skies; light frost; thin surface ice on water
bowls. Haven't checked the garden. Gonna wait 'til the air temp is at
least 45.

It gets worse Derald, got up this morning to another hard freeze. Took a
look out the back door and the garden looks pitiful. Cabbage, broccoli,
etc. all look badly wilted.

Just took a look at the weather for tomorrow, it will be in the sixties
again, right now it is 25F and it's right at 0900. Later in the week
temps will rise to the mid seventies, go figure. Of course most of the
US is now in a freeze. Whatever happened to global warming?
