I just returned after a brief hiatus from the iris-talk. After
reading this from Linda Mann today, I had to respond:

Gads, the 70s are our July-August temps....we had a low yesterday
of -11 F and a high of 24 F. We have never lost our snow cover
and the irises are still sleeping under their white blankets.
Granted, we are having a mild winter with very few days going down
into the -30 F range. Quite a few about -15 to -25 F. Wind is fierce
this year making it seem much colder.
Anyway, not a Zone 3 winter for sure. We would qualify for a Zone
4 or 5 so far...a lot of cold days still to come.
Cheers,
Ellen
