Edit : I got the numbers for Wilmington , and while bad , it was no where near as bad as my location or New Bern . ................. High Low I had highs some of those days in the 20'sF . Wilmington stayed an 8A that winter , but with that stretch of temperatures it would be considered a cold 8A for there . Winston-Salem ( Greensboro airport ; The Weatherunderground stopped showing my city history I guess because it's so close to Greensboro . I had only 8 days below 32F not 9 days . Tell that to my Palmettos named Shaq and Curly lol ) : High Low
Two winters ago was the 8 days below 32F event that Gary of Gary's Nursery said was the longest stretch below 32F in recorded history for him and for here . It also hit 7F twice during that 8 day period .
So those seedlings made it through that winter .
Wilmington had only a low of 12F that winter , but 3 days were not above 32F including a high temp of 30F , 31F and 32F during that 8 day period , so there was definitely a line of super cold air that I was in , and New Bern was also in ( Winston-Salem and New Bern averaged the same temperatures during that period . New Bern is usually milder than me ) A little bit further south wasn't that bad .
Thanks ,
Will
