While attending the recent Tropical Fern and Exotic Plant Society annual auction, the subject of the upcoming cold season was discussed in detail. Many folks in this Society grow some pretty rare and tender plants. The prevailing consensus was that we are in for a bad one. From el nino to we are "way past due", I'm unsure as to what scientific evidence was given.. However, most were old timer plant collectors. What have you heard?

I thought this map was interesting enough to share… I've alway thought it was interesting that the coldest time on the year on the west coast is in December, but much later on the East coast. My coldest time is mid December after that the days start to warm up but the nights can still be very cold. What is your coldest time of the Year?

When you look at Hawaii on the USDA Zone interactive map, it is all crazy. It goes from 9a all the way to 13a. Are the 9a - 10a parts mountains (volcanoes)? I know that on the very tops of the mountains it can snow simply from high elevations, but wouldn't right below them be warmer?

What is the best microclimate in your yard? Mine is a part of my back yard in a corner that faces south it has Leyland Cypress and other trees and bushes all aro around it to the north, which usually protects this area from the first few frosts. Don't mind my two raised beds, the winds from Michael messed them up. The Elephant Ears in the back never bor big like the ones in my front yard.

I found a University of Florida Agricultural site that gives Air Temperature at 2 meters and then soil temperature at 10 centimeters.The closest I could find to me was at Ft.Lauderdale,which reported air temperature at 80 F.and soil temperature(10 cm)at 73F.Arcadia,Fl was the highest soil I found at 74F. Apopka,fl(central Florida)reported 73F and North Florida at Marianna,Fl.reported 65F with an air temperature of 68F. I am certain that this is an important aspect of tropical plant and palm culture.Any idea what your soil temperature is?

What it's like in zone 5b

When I have my palms, all nicely outside, I think to myself, when it's too cold, they will have died. The winters are cold. All of you say that 30F is cold. Sorry but, all of you are total wimps! When I'm at school and it's been 15F for the past week, I take off my jacket at recess and feel soooo warm! You guys are all warm and cozy with your 72-80 all year climate. Well in Wisconsin, nature takes the weather to extremes. 2 years ago, it snowed one night, rained the next, and after that it froze. I had fun skating with my boots! Most of you probably don't know what snow is. But snow is a big part of me..... I have a love hate relationship with Snow. I have fun slidin…

What Kind of Winter Has It Been?
by happ- 16 replies

It seems that when an arctic invasion occurs on one side of the nation that warmth happens on the opposite coast. The polar jet stream has been active & made its presence quite notcable at times this winter. But, all & all, winter has actually been either near normal to much above normal. January was the warmest world-wide since the 1800's For example : PacificNW experienced a cold/wet early winter only to mellow-out in a more normal pattern of cool/wet. California has seen a very dull winter of mild but extremely dry conditions rudely interrupted by a week-long & devastating freeze in many parts of the state last month. Same with Texas though the cold …

What the hail?

Strong storm with lightning, thunder, rain and hail passed through interior NorCal this afternoon. Temperature dropped from low 60sF to mid 40sF in a few minutes. Doesn't look like it damaged most of my palms as the hailstones were small. Events like this happen almost every winter here, but once a season is enough!

To follow up on Matty's gig on Hail,I did a little research.The largest Hailstone recorded in the US fell in Aurora ,Nebraska on June 22,2003 during an intense Thunderstorm.The largest stone retrieved was nearly the size of a volleyball and weighed 1.7 pounds.As you may imagine, quite a bit of damage resulted from this episode. In the world,the most prolific area is in Bangladesh and on the Deccan Plateau of India.The largest hailstone ever recorded fell in Bangladesh on April 14,1986 and weighed 2.25 pounds. It resembled a pumpkin. The worst hailstorm ever took place in Moradabad,India on April 30,1888. 246 people were killed.
