While we don't get snow, or at least seldom, we do get cold here in NE Mississippi. I haven't researched it, but my guess was that we got below freezing 30 days (probably more), in the 20's 15 or more days, and in the teens 6-8 days. The solar blanket cut my heating costs by almost 50% last year. Since I don't really grow anything in my greenhouses from April till November, other than starting seeds and using one for the first week or so when rooting plumeria, I can just leave the solar blanket on year 'round. The greenhouses get awful hot regardless, and I just leaves the doors/vents open during the spring and summer months and run fans when there are seedlings/plumeria inside. I do use shade cloths during those months.

The reason it's so hard to lose weight when you get up in age is because your body and your fat have become good friends.
