Heavy snow falling here now. Very large flakes causing rapid coverage, although the temperature isnt too bad, about 1'c. Watching polytunnels carefully!

Where is here, are you in the UK. Hope your polytunnels will be alright. Last year I was out quite a few times brushing the snow off.

Correction: ALL Yorkshire is a beautiful place even with snow and, grudgingly, that goes for Leeds as well ;D

I live inside the Carpathian range so mostly get about 30 cm of snow. The south and east of the country is open ground so in some winters the easterly winds can even burry entire houses under snow

Hello,

After 13 days with subzero temperatures his morning greeted us with -18°C.

I am not afraid for real European or asia minor alpines, but:

Daphne calcicola
Sternbergias
lowland crocuses (niveus, carthwrihtianus.......)

I also will miss the fresh figs this year!

We will see in a few weeks what really happened
