It's interesting which ones seem just fine (Star Jasmine, Fatsia). I know what you mean about the gray, cold fog. I've often said that 20s/dry/snowy/sunny days feel warmer than 30s/wet/rainy/cloudy days. The wet cold goes right to your bones.

I'm glad to see the new growth on some of them, and hope the rest survive.<br /><br />I see you have a countdown to daylight saving time. I was going to see if I could find a countdown to spring.

Endured -26C daytime temps for several days. At home in the PNW -7C and snow were hard on our overwintering broccoli and a tree succumbed to high winds. Fortunately the weather calmed down for Christmas.

It is indeed a Euphorbia Robbiae from Dancing Oaks. I think it will make it, but it sure looks sad right now. Hard to believe that we were just in Seattle, and instead of fog we had some lovely sunshine! Too strange! But, wait, I think I see a little blue peeking through today!Cate Carusohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17518013302088811049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4685430032033752352.post-67996937297044667372013-12-28T09:26:54.537-08:002013-12-28T09:26:54.537-08:00I'm looking forward to spring too.

I really need to get out there and start cutting things back and checking out what survived that big freeze. I get sick of the fog quickly too, especially when I hope it is just a morning thing and it doesn't burn off.Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16323262555906240701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4685430032033752352.post-47270512102435889132013-12-28T08:02:28.314-08:002013-12-28T08:02:28.314-08:00Oh Grace I do hope that your beloved plants perk u...Oh Grace I do hope that your beloved plants perk up come spring. Sometimes it's amazing just how resilient they can be. We've only had one brief snow flurry in November, no fog, a few frosts but (isn't there always a but) much rain and several extremely windy days. Can't help but wonder what next month will bring!Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10794392333038962798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4685430032033752352.post-77528365927715970412013-12-28T04:31:16.148-08:002013-12-28T04:31:16.148-08:00Oh dear, it looks as if your plants have taken a b...Oh dear, it looks as if your plants have taken a battering.

PDX was a foggy soup as was the Spokane airport (they warned us we might not be able to land and would return to Portland, thankfully we landed). But once we were up above the flog it was a beautiful sunny day. I promised myself I would hold that image in my mind for the month of January.<br /><br />And Grace I am sorry about your plants!<br />danger gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227500551609537140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4685430032033752352.post-29833346840363365792013-12-27T17:46:19.973-08:002013-12-27T17:46:19.973-08:00Scott at Rhone Street Gardens has managed to make ...Scott at Rhone Street Gardens has managed to make fog look beautiful but, more often than not, it strikes me as just a bit sinister.
