spring freeze

Well Oregon does it again. Just as the spring Hardy Plant Society sale ends and I get some of those precious babies in the ground Matt Zafino tells us that it is going to freeze the next three nights. I did manage to cover my plants with some buckets and cardboard. Thankfully Pop called me to let me know so that I wouldn't plant the new Dahlias that just arrived in the mail. Well off to read about propagating. At least with the freeze maybe I will get some house work done.

Yeah this is really weird to have talk of snow down to 500' tomorrow night. We are at 465'. Mom has all of her plants in the garage and that should do.

Looks like the storm is slowing down over here. it was in Calgary most of the day and supposed to hit here tonight. But now they're saying it will start to snow tomorrow at noon. No one here has plants in the ground. Our last frost is May 15 and the first year I moved back here there was a bad one in June. We're at about 3500'. What I want to know is if all the cold air from Alaska is coming here, is Alaska warmer now?
