My yard is an ice flattened mess this morning. Went out yesterday afternoon with a broom and whacked ice off of loblobby bays, banana shrubs, young magnolias, and loquat trees that were on the verge of snapping. The fronds on my palms are splayed with ice deep down the crown shafts - will be treating them with daconil fungicide as soon as the ice goes away - very concerned about upcoming nights in mid teens and residual moisture . I'm thankful that we only lost power for 3 hours last night - my protected queen and date palms should be unfazed. I am so ready for spring!

This pic was taken early yesterday afternoon before the loquats required emergency snow and ice removal to prevent snapping.
