Yes, we did get hit. For the last couple of years I had been keeping my C&S collection on the back stoop under frost cloth, adding a blanket/and or plastic if we got precipitation. But these last few weeks we've been having night time lows in the teens with daytime highs in the 30s. I dragged my collection under shelter, either in the garage or in the house, about 2 weeks ago. So, they are fine--those in the garage (which does not freeze) are a little cold, but dry.

Fortunately for us, we got snow and not the ice storm that's common for this area in mid-state SC. The coastal areas and Florida got the ice storm this time. But, winter is not over. Brrrr.....
