OH YEAH.. bacteria survive cold very well. and if the host survives, the microbe

I am in Southern NH and inoculated with milky spore three years ago.
No japanese beetle grubs in my yard since then.

While this past winter seemed a bit severe (really normal, but long)
there was not much frost in the ground. The snow in December stayed
and insulated the ground from the severe cold spells that we had. I
am confident that the spores are still there and hungry.

I'm about 20 miles north of Boston and all I can say is that it won't hurt
to put down the milky spore. For some reason I think that the spore may not
survive the winter where we are?? Maybe, but not sure.
