If only! I have heard that some US states are having cold winters, but
over the Atlantic, if you add up all the days we have had cold days, it's
about a week. That's not even frosty days - just slightly colder ones.
It's been quite cold in Scotland, especially the north, but not in
southern England.

I seriously think whether we're heading towards a mediterranean climate.

Not here. Last week we were lulled into thinking that it would be a mild
winter,
but the last few days have taken care of that. I have -5 here this morning.
We
have a couple of days of relief coming, then back to the cold for the rest of
the
week.

Hi Craig:

We will all find out how well our wintering methodologies work. );-) We
have been as low as -4-degrees Fahrenheit by morning in my neck of the glacier.

Cordially,

Yep. Today and tomorrow are going to be ok here, but after that I'm going to throw
a tarp over my trees. They're mulched ok, and out of the wind, but I'm concerned
about losing smaller branches and buds. I was away Friday and Saturday so I hadn't
thought it would be this cold here, but I'm going to be more careful this week.
