Yup. Frozen hard. Had to chip out my dahlia tubers in chunks of earth. But yesterday it warmed up finally and started to rain so the ground should be soft again. Good think as I have all that thawed dirt in my garage from where I had the dahlias. Also brought in large pots of dirt to thaw them out and dry the dirt out a little. Easier to spread back in the yard.

It's supposed to hold in the 40's til around the 18th with bits of sun. Figures I would do my digging when the weather was at its worst. Crying But I couldn't take the chance it would stay frozen. This will give me a chance to get my daffodil bulbs back in the ground.

I am amazed that the UP isn't frosted up even if not frozen. You guys get terrible cold weather.
From -60 Alaska to +100 Virginia. Wahoo
