Hi all,

I thought winter over, but not at all, this morning temperature fall down at 2°C and snow began to fall.

We are now on the coldest days of this mild winter here. That is the first time we will touch zero celcius.

I took some picture of my garden.

Enjoy;)

Sorry to say it, but you should expect extended damage on your palms with subzero temps combined with ice. It reminds me a lot the freaky cold spell of 2004 here. It was devastating indeed, with -2 C plus ice it killed a Dracaena draco, while another one survived in Italy by dry -7 C!

I have a cousin who lives in Nice, France. She posted a video yesterday on FB of the snow. But she's currently on a world cruise and is not there to experience the snow.

Mad about palms

This looks really cool. I hope there is no damage like the freak snowstorm in Rio Grande Valley in south Texas several years ago.

What you look for is what is looking
