Today I am doing something new (for me)--I've removed the covers/lids of several of the jugs with well-grown WS seedlings, to give them a bit of room . Then I've set the bottom half of the jugs into a little plastic greenhouse (unheated). They'll still be protected from the cold. They'll remain in the greebhouse until I can plant them out, which will a while! Ordinarily I leave them covered with their little lids until MAy and plant-out time, but this will be easier for DH to sprinkle with water should they need to be watered, while I'm away for a week.
Sorry, Allison, I wasn't clear. What the WFF writer was mentioning was the trend towards warmer WINTERS that they have noticed over the past years in their region of Connecticut.
I actually don't have enough "history" with winter weather to comment--only moved to New England four years ago (previously in temperate Monterey, CA.)
I agree: last summer here on the Cape was really cool and wet, to my tomatoes' displeasure!
