It didn't get as cold as forecasted; 16 instead of 12 or 13, but some damage it did anyway.
The clumps of EVs that are about 7 inches tall had white tips, and some outside fans were
the dark green shiny color. Inside fans faired better. The dormants seemed okay.
There was a light dusting of snow this morning, and plenty of wind last night.

Don't know how many times they can come through okay if the weather continues the
freeze/grow thingy. We have another warming up period in a couple of days. This is
one strange climate this year.

Supposed to be 16 tonight, with some wind, which will make it even colder. I did rake
some more mulch around them today. Now with it warming up, especially if it rains, will
need to rake it back away from them. They might be more prone to rot with the extra mulch,
rain, and warmer temps.

Aah, the joys of gardening.
