Interesting!  The degree symbol I inserted into the my last message  
modified the number.  The minimum is minus 10 degrees not -80  degrees.  Boy that 
would have been cold!  The high was 15 and not 150  degrees F.  That would 
have been a little warm!  I will avoid adding  that symbol in all future 
messages.

It has  been in the sixties quite often over the past few weeks.  Now   our
high (southern NM, just above the Mexican border) is in the low teens  for 2
days straight!   This morning it is -80 F.   I  cannot  remember a time in
the 30 years I  have lived here where  it didn't get  above freezing in the
afternoon.   Once every  few years it can get in  the single digits at 
night,
but  -80???   This must be what it is like  for you guys living up  north.

It has been called the coldest day ever.  We are breaking  low low and  low
high temperature records with a sledge  hammer.

I assume all the Irises will survive even though they have  started spring
growth.  My seedlings in pots have not poked through  the soil yet.
Everything is covered with 4 inches of snow.  Will they  be okay?

What about the amaryllises?  evergreen daylilies? and  the  dahlias?  Will I
lose them?  Can they survive 2  whole  days where  it never got above 150  
F?

P.S.  I hope the yuccas and cactus   survive.
