20 Deg here in S/W Illinois this morning and a light snow. Pulled the rest of my Turnips yesterday and my sweet potatoes last week. Getting ready to hunker down for the winter. What a Face

17°F this morning here in SW Ohio, with snow forecast for Tuesday. The hard freeze took care of anything that was left in the gardens. All of the flower beds are mulched with shredded leaves. Have some rhubarb I want to transplant into their new fire ring raised beds, but they haven't gone totally dormant yet. About as ready for winter as we can get.

Cold and snowy here in Eastern Ontario. Overnight temps -8C (17F).

Well, believe it or not, some of my "Red lunchbox" peppers survived 20 degs and a light snow. Some of them were a little iffy but a lot of them are actually still very firm.

My Yellow "Lunchbox" peppers actually did better than these red ones. I can't post pics of the yellow ones because..... We ATE'em ALL... What a Face

I don't know what happened to me this year but I just got LAZY and didn't cover my hoops with plastic but my Carrots and Beets are still in good shape also.. "Thank you Lord".

An ice storm overnight coated everything with about 1/2" of ice, and it broke one of our White Birch Trees. Now, on top of the ice, it is snowing...

The ice storm broke limbs out of our beautiful Crimson Red Maple, which now has to be trimmed. It will turned into some Biochar.... Sad

I hate that, OG, when ice does that to the trees. Cold here. Super cold.

It was supposed to get down to freezing last night but that did not occur because my tomatoes are still growing.

**trolleydriver** 11/16/2018, 8:53 pm

My street today. Global warming ... not in my part of the globe.
