The temperature got down to 31 degrees. That seems to be pretty warm
for you Jan! The water hyacinths have died back and Jim will put the
plastic sheet over them as a minimal green house. Next year, they
will all wake up again.

We are getting down to 2 degrees tonight and the pond is covered with
two feet of snow. Got the bubbler going for the air hole.

Here in northern Florida it hasn't snowed, in fact, we haven't even
had a freeze yet, though it did get to 33 one night. As a mattter of
fact, I think this state is only one of two (Hawai'i being the other
one) that has no "bridge freezes before roadway" type of signs. I've
seen them in every other state.
