I checked out this thread b/c I was hoping y'all knew what to do. I've lived here for years and I still don't know what to do to protect the plants. They seem to freeze no matter what. It hasn't gotten below freezing yet, but it's been snowing and raining all day. I was hoping for just snow and thinking that might protect the plants, but then it rained after it snowed. I didn't want to cover the plants and then have them weighed down by the water and snow. Is it better to leave the ones that have snow on them alone or should I cover them when it stops raining? I never know what to do.

Here's the snow from 1:30 this afternoon before it rained and ruined everything!
