Low here last night was 13. Small heater in GH on high but the temp is reading 36.

Carl (my DH) said it was 35 when he get up. I am really worry and hate to think about going out there.

Everything has been do great. I know a lot of you are colder but this is BAD for SE Ga.

Worried in Ga.

    Dorothy I hope that everything in your GH will survive this strange unusually weather. Here we thought the new year was going to be better :-(

    Gosh and your GH is so full. Anything you can safe inside the house?

    Dorothy, I hope things are fine in your GH. Would hate to see you lose anything after all the hard work you've put into growing plants/seeds. Stay warm. Our weather is fantastic, but I am not bragging. Heard this would be one of the coldest winters ever so I am bracing myself come Feb./Mar.

    Dorothy I am so sorry about the cold gh. I know you have a lot of plants in there. I hope they are keeping each other warm for you. This is a crazy winter. I have been dealing with frozen pipes here. But we deal with it every year. LOL When you live up north eh you just deal with what the big man sends ya.......

    Will I did it!
    Finally went out and took a look around. So far so good. The plants look ok temp is up to 41 in the GH.
    There was a little ice on the inside on the plastic. But there was a watering can on the table and it was not frozen. Will be able to tell more later on.
    There is ice covering my ponds. But the fish are ok. Tried to take pictures but battery died. Charging the camera now.

    AS long as you stayed above 32 you are fine. I made it to. It was 25 at 10:00 here last night. I was on pins and needles but I made it... YES!!! I hope that was the end of that. To hard on my heart. Brandy

    I hope all is well in your GH. The heaters are running 24/7 and still have cold spots at night. We had to put up plastic sheeting on the GH door leading to the dining room because cold air was seeping into the house. I told someone this morning that I wasn't going back into the GH until March. lol

    I got up at 3 this am & the temp was -7 before the wind chill. It was 32 on my porch!!! The heater is on high & we added styrofoam panels to the 2 layers of plastic. I keep opening the door when I go past to let some house heat out there. DH said it was up to 40 awhile ago because of the sun shining on it. I haven't looked to see what was frozen, I'm afraid to. The poor little quail are all huddled together in a corner of their cage but they are fine. It is 11 now & -2 with the wind.

    Karyn and Linda,
    I sure hope the best for you. Looks like I made it through a close one. Our temps. are going to be below the norm but nothing like last night.
    We put so much work and care into our plants to have weather like this take them away. Makes me feel sick to think of everyones losses.
    Hugs to all

    I had to run out to buy a b-day gift for Kyle's friend. I was dreading going out. It was sunny and 23 degrees when I ventured outside. I swear it felt like a heat wave! It's pretty damn sad when you start thinking that 23 is warm. lol

    I'm so sorry to hear all of you battling the cold in your greenhouses. I sure hope everything survives for you. I've lost quite a few tropical things of my own with the unbelievably cold temperatures.

    Take care all and keep warm.
