Thats a spectacular tree! 😍 Do you know is this his F2 or F3 hybrid? I have a mule and one of his F3 hybrids, and the only other F3 I've seen doesn't have a trunk as big as yours.

Glad the Great State of Texas fared well. My place hit 12°F this morning.

There are a few places in my area that receive minus 2 degrees Celsius, and pretty frosty mornings , I call them the dead zone for gardening, no way is that for me a black frost zone. -

The Tropic of Capricorn is about as far south you move to from that cold place! -

That's why Bachman & Cummings moved south. -
Another picture of the Butia x Jubaea in Augusta, GA.

This is a Butia x Jubaea hybrid that I purchased years ago from Dr. Merrill Wilcox. It has held its silver color beautifully. The picture doesn't do it justice. Augusta, GA

No sir. I live in the south for a reason. I want nothing to do with it. I have a friend in NJ sending me pictures from up there and it's all a hard NOPE from me. I could literally see Sancho's farts this morning. -

I got too see snow in Manitoba Canada minus 30, flip me it was cold, took breath away, snow is not for this summer bunny iam afraid you can have your snow bunny’s ! -
Already 35deg here at 6:30pm. Forecast low is 29??? I don’t trust it. Might be quite a nasty radiational freeze. Sometimes it will be alarming and drop more quickly earlier in the evening only to plateau halfway through the night, but some other times I’ve seen it get colder than predicted and it drops like a rock through early morning. Glad I still have everything covered.

A ground frost will form at 2-3C / 36-38F but an air frost obviously needs to be 0C / 32F. I wouldn’t bet against -1C / 30F in Miami on Saturday night. So a fair bit colder than 2010. There could however be last minute adjustments and it may get nowhere near that cold, staying in the mid 30’s F. Time will tell. Miami could have a colder winter minimum than parts of England and Ireland this winter. And we had the coldest start to January in 16 years here, since 2010, a few weeks back. Funny how 2010 keeps coming up on analogs. Similarish setups on both sides of the Atlantic to that winter. Although that winter was something else altogether in Europe. Anyway, the lowest in the Isles of Scilly (50N) just off Cornwall this winter is +3.1C / 38F. I will be looking to see how Key West performs too this weekend.

Haven't seen snow in a few years but when I was running the hotel in TX I couldn't leave work for almost 2 weeks. I walked him and he just sunk in the snow. It's just cold here, praise jeebus. -
I could realy use some of that global warming tgey keep screaming about. Lol

The first night of Adonidiageddon here was 29.1F but no visible frost. It stayed under freezing for 3.5 hours. The local airport registered 34 degrees for 2 hours. Current forecast lows are still the worst on Saturday morning at 25F and Sunday morning at 27F. Back to 9A here instead of their silly 10A rating!!!
-
Seeing Miami could get a frost just insane to me. In the 12/13 years I lived there the lowest it ever got was like 45. Times are changing… I wonder how all the super tropical plants are going to react.

Yeah, it's a little chilly. He dgaf though, walking outside with ice crunching under his paws at night like it's nothing. If 2021 didn't phase him when he literally sank in the snow, this ain't gonna bug him. -
It got down to 35F here. When I woke up it was closer to 38F, but it dropped pretty quickly before the sun came up. The airport recorded just a hair under 34F for a low, so in the historical records, it will probably be marked as 34F. It may not matter much come this weekend as predictions of mid-20s or lower are now common place in the forecast models.

I've looked at the forecasts and it's looking like an east coast event here. I remember last winter the west coast got hammered and now it looks like it's our turn.
