Thanks for the newspaper tip, beeman-will try that tonight. Last night's low here was 43.8 instead of a predicted 39, but tonight and tomorrow they are calling for 32 in places a bit north and west of us
! The wind is still howling here today, so hopefully that will die down at a reasonable hour.
Yopper, glad to hear that most of your plants survived the snow unharmed-hopefully the sun will continue to shine and keep things warm!
