Default Should I be watering now?

Good Question

A great article addressing winter dormancy is here

Storms, fires, floods, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions keep reminding us
that we are not the boss.
Some people will buy products they do not understand and not buy books that
will give them understanding.

Hi - I'm in Richmond, VA. It's been warmer than normal lately for this

time
of the year --today it's sunny and in the low 80s -- so I'm wondering if I
should be watering my outside plants (mostly liriope, azaleas, nandinas,
butterly bush and crepe myrtles). We may still get snaps of cold weather,
and I know a lot of plants go dormant in the winter so I don't want to

kill
anything off by prematurely watering. I think it's supposed to be in the
30s on Monday night. Any opinions on this? TIA.
