Hi Arnhild -
I notice when the weather turns cold (below +20F or so), the leaves on my
Rhododenrons curl to protect themselves like you have described. There
isn't too much chance of that right now, however, since they are all covered
by two feet of snow . . .
As far as information about wind chill - I can only speak for my area, but I
assume that wherever it's an issue (mostly in the northern states??), it is
given on the nightly news. On cable TV, there is also the Weather Channel.
(Check out http://www.weather.com/ ) They give info about temps and wind
chill, and even some gardening tips as it relates to weather.
Anyone else want to chime in?
Regards,
Karen
