Re: Cold!!!!!!!!
Bobby, these are just some pictures I found using Google. I would imagine that everything you see pictured with snow on it either died or was seriously stunted until spring.

Re: Cold!!!!!!!!
Oh, you know, Mitchel... you're probably right.. I bet this is South Texas. I also belong to the International Palm Society and one of the members who live near Galveston posted pics with a foot of snow all over the palms last year - they took a serious beating..... I was getting excited over nothing.... I thought.. hey, if they can take that kind of snow then I could get rid of my greenhouse here in New York and plant them in the ground - year round.... Oh well.
