I was worried about my just coming up carrots, but the cages made against the rabbits actually kind of protecting from heavy snow. Not sure what it would be when it starts to melt…

I think carrots would be fine. They can handle some light freezes.

That not the cold I was worried, its a weight of the snow.

Fair point. I think they should still be ok. If anything, the gradual melt of the snow will help keep them watered nice and evenly.

Just turned to rain after snow through the night. Not sure it dipped below freezing, however, fortunately. I posted some pictures in the How’s Your Weather thread.

What is the lowest temperature? If it is not reaching critical temperature, all fruits might be ok, keep fingers crossed

My fig trees and citrus trees are outside now. Figs have droopy leaves and am worried. Citrus looks OK.

Still snowing here. ~2" so far. I’m thrilled to be having all this moisture spread out over a couple days, instead of a torrential downpour.

Galinas, I am just West of Indian Lake.

Galina,
About 3” here. The second pic was taken at 8 am.
The first was taken 2-3 hours later.

Nice area. What do you grow?

I grow citrus trees, fig trees, currants, gooseberries, vegetables & keep two beehives.

In a green house? Citrus outdoor in Worcester will be a miracle.
