war_eagle 2 Report post Posted January 28, 2009 The forecast looks a little bit better this evening. My zipcode in Pearland, TX is now forecast to see 37, 36, 38, 39 the next four nights, it was 38, 32, 34, 36 this morning. Lets hope that trend continues. Maybe we can avoid a freeze and any frost this time, there is supposed to be a minimum 5-10mph wind each night which should help keep the frost away. I'm just about sick of hauling the frost sensitive potted plants under the covered patio and covering the veggies in the garden! 2 or 3 more weeks ...

_Keith 747 Report post Posted January 28, 2009 So weird, but I am not complaining. Lows of only 36 forecasted here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
war_eagle 2 Report post Posted January 29, 2009 Unfortunately the good trend reversed itself. Now the forecast is for 32F with light and variable wind (NWS says 5mph) and clear skies. NWS says a light freeze is probable in the suburbs, but only 1-2 hours below freezing. The temperature isn't too bad, but it looks to me like it will be pretty frosty in the morning.

_Keith 747 Report post Posted January 29, 2009 Still holding OK down here. Only a couple nights predicted at 36. Got a prediction sitting out next week at 34, which won't be a big deal, but bears watching in case predictions trend downward. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FRITO 34 Report post Posted January 29, 2009 for us in zone 9 why are we worried with temps in the low 30's this late in the season? my bananas.gingers, and cannas are long gone. tender palms in pots can be brought in. anything else planted in the ground that cant take your avg low shouldnt be there unless you are "pushing the envelope" and right now the 'mail' is backed up and running slow (all these threads regarding cold damage in central and south florida) keep 'em warm Luke Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steve 9atx 2 Report post Posted January 29, 2009 I suppose I should have saved the image of the US yesterday instead of posting the link, which is updated. If you can "go back" on the wunderground image, you would see the continuous winter weather warnings like Ms America's sash, 800 miles wide from Maine to New Mexico. As it turned out, it looked scarier that it was - no freeze here. Steve Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
galveston1602 1 Report post Posted January 30, 2009 back to back weeks in low 40's sucks.... just keep the current predictions for a few more days and we should all be ok... (at least in these parts) they missed yesterdays low by 3 degrees here, hit 38 with a prediction of 41. its amazing what a few miles and some water will do, as they registered 31 just a few miles inland...

Keith in SoJax 436 Report post Posted February 4, 2009 In Florida, I've come know winter as FreezeRBurn. Its cold and bone dry so we have fires. FreezeRBurn = winter in Florida. Welcome to Paradise... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FRITO 34 Report post Posted February 5, 2009 well I push the envelope on certain stuff. its just palms are relatively rare here and Trachy and Butia are the only thing found around, that trying anything else here is pushing quite hard. pushing a full yard is diffrent than a few choice plants.

_Keith 747 Report post Posted February 5, 2009 It will be 30 outside tonight. Relatively mild here in Zone 9a. I have planted to my zone, maybe stretching just a tad. I will sleep like a baby tonight and have done absolutely nothing except pulling my blanket to my neck when I hop into the bed. I live a realistic life.
