We were "only" supposed to get down to 22, but it dipped lower. Wind chill of SEVEN too.
I just went out and checked on the plants I thought might have trouble.
Bower vine: This is on the North side of the front yard and winds are completely unencumbered in the front yard. It has some leaf damage, but overall looks fine.
White bird of paradise: it's up against the south side of the house, on the east corner. As expected, it has plenty of leaf burn. DH is bringing more pine straw to help it through tonight's cold.
Spider plants: they've been in the ground for years and as expected, the ones in the front year that are exposed have black leaves and the ones on the south side of the house, look better.
Fatsia and cast iron plants: Both look like they'll have damage; the leaves have frozen. Dislike, but they'll be fine.
Noid succulent - not too sure about this one. It looks fine, but it's also completely frozen, plant and soil.
Today it should get up to a whole 34 and tonight it's supposed to get down to 30.
