MSJen,
Mike Reader is now saying frost but freeze around Hattiesburg and Leeksville.
Nice day today after a little rain earlier...high was 65º.
Our luck ran out too,29 tonight. All the babies are in and it looks like a jungle. Winnie and Bruce are having a ball checking everything out. Of course. they say it will be back in the 60s by Thanksgiving. I did get all the pods off the double purple datura though, the last one came off last Friday. Poor baby, he has more buds that will never make it.
Up here on the Wet Coast ( actually the West Coast of Canada aka British Columbia) it is pouring rain, and more rain and wind. It's miserable but I still have brugs blooming in the garden as long as the high winds haven't shredded them. All the important babies are in the greenhouse though. Just lots of charles grimaldis blooming in the garden. Experimenting to see how long they survive without being cut back. We have had a very light frost but it didn't bother them at all. Now we just have rain and more rain.
All our babies are in the greenhouse.We are expecting high 20's here tonight.We sure could use some of that rain Brugcrazy.Send it this way.

Lucked out again the frost wasn't very heavy...Banana trees and Brugs still looking good...I know it's just a matter of time before Old Man winter gets us here in South Miss.
Yesterday was our first snow. We consider ourselves lucky - last year at this time we had already had two storms;enough to call out the snowplows. The snow hasn't melted yet because temps are below freezing so it looks like its here to stay. Reporting to you from Ontario

Annie,
Do y'all have snow on the ground all winter or does it come and go?
Just like probably in your area, it depends on the winter. Some winters, it starts early, stays all winter and melts late. Last year we had severals downfalls in November and December and then hardly anything in January and February. For the couple of years before that it was a few storms in January and February and early melt. When we don't get fresh snow, the landscape on the side of the road looks terrible. The snow banks which have been piled up on the side of the roads are all dirty from the traffic and a fresh snowfall is almost refreshing to make everything look nice and white again. I work an hour north of where I live and we live in what we call "the banana belt" and there is called "the snow Belt". I'm sure that most of you would refer to all of us as the snow belt. Few years ago, we had a most unusual start to winter and we had no snow on December 24th. The local golf courses opened and had free golfing for the day as a Christmas present. Most people even wore shorts although it was very cold and had their pictures taken with Santa on the golf course to celebrate the unusual conditions.
Sure wish I could enjoy the palm trees at Christmas though.

Oh I think you southerners should come on up to the "Lake Effect" country for a while this winter.The only bananas you'll see are the ones in the grocery store(and they probably got frostbit getting there),where you not only have to shovel your driveway but you have to shovel your roof too,to keep it from colapsing under 3 feet of snow!!! You'll enjoy it!!!LOL (but I'm not laughing)CC
I'd love to visit that snow, but so glad to be here in florida. Atlanta/marietta was too far north for me, six months of either cloudy skies or freezing cold, and everything seemed to die so early.
Arlene use to love playing in it when I was up north but now I am happy here being a dam Yankee....

Been there...done that.... had that fun....I lived in Seoul, Korea for 4 years and Colorado for 8 years that is why I am now back home in the deep south....the snow is nice to look at but just a little to cold for this old girl.:0)
True to his word, we were back in t-shirts and shorts today. If this holds out, everyone will get to spend a couple of days on the front porch. Don't want to get them too far from the house at this late date.
