Interesting post. I have to start paying more attention to national weather. Up here in Jersey the overnight wasn't much different than N.C. , which was kind of shocking since on my frequent trips to Virginia in winter for example it always seems much warmer. Yesterday though for example it was in low 40's for high during day and it snowed all afternoon, there were big accumulations in the far north of the state, none here though. Snow especially with accumulations is VERY rare before late Nov/ early Dec in N.J. I've read as far as OTHER plants that additional potassium does improve cold hardiness somewhat.
