First Good Freeze
I got down to 29 degrees in my backyard Tuesday morning. This was my first
real freeze. I have had frost on the roof a couple of times but it did little damage. The 29 degrees did moderate damage to just about everything tender. I live in Southwest Round Rock in a low spot so I am ususally several degrees cooler than most Austin forcasted temps. I am curious if others may have had a freeze and the weather forecasters are just getting it wrong. Cheers JEM |

The plants which got clipped are my brugmansia's and datura's. I should have had the greenhouse up by now, so my bad. |

Usually a couple of degrees cooler out here than Wimberley proper in the a.m. Definite frost Tuesday morning. The morning low is due to loss of heat from the prior daylight. More radical in less populated or non-industrialized areas. Lack of wind exaggerates this difference. Wind makes temperature changes more uniform. Wind itself creates some heat as well. -- Jonny |

My morning glories are dying, so that leads me to think it's gotten cold
enough in San Marcos. Morris Nelms "Jim Marrs" wrote in message ... I got down to 29 degrees in my backyard Tuesday morning. This was my first real freeze.
