Cindi - welcome to what I get every year. It's so depressing yet so beautiful to see the freeze-dried roses. Your lilacs will be fine. Mine are just hunky dory even with the extreme that we had a few weeks ago (went from 60s to below zero in 1 day for a few days). We have another cold front hitting us right now. It's a mild one and not very wet, so we won't get any moisture out of this one unfortunately.
