I was surprised at how the various varieties have handled the cold. I suspect that most would have been ok with just two nights of cold but there were several days where it didn't get out of the forties at the farm. That lake is a blessing since it didn't actually freeze, but it took a really long time to warm up as well.

Gran Nain was the most unhappy
Misi Luki was damaged badly
Dwarf Namwah came through nicely
Kandrian came through almost unscathed.

If I can farm 20 years without another long spell of cold like that I'll be happy.
