We had a hard frost this morning 29.3. Ice in the bird bath. Fleshy
flowers like wax begonias will go. We live in, geologically, the
Culpepper Basin and we have been 15 degrees colder than locations 30
miles north of us. Still have a couple things to get in the ground. I
agree with Linda, by the week we will be the 70's. Twenty below is
coldest I've seen.
