Went below 32F at 330am, went back above 32F by 830am. 5 total hours of freezing temperatures. Ultimate low of 29.7F with 7.6 "freezing degree hours" calculated as discussed in the weather forum. Moderate winds varying from NNW to NNE all night, dewpoints in low teens, no frost. No overhead canopy in my yard. No protection provided. Photos from 4 days after the freeze event.

Very minimal damage

A specimen has been at Lake Wire since at least May of 2011, possibly earlier.  At that time, they has short trunks.  They currently have large trunks and are among the canopy growth in the garden surrounding the lake.  From 2011 to 2020, they have survived an ultimate low of 26F and an advective freeze down to 28F in 2018.
