Pictures of actual freeze damage Saturday morning + mowed my perennial lawn :

Posted by WSimpson NC <iframe src='https://members3.boardhost.com/HardyPalm/info/user=WSimpson+NC' width='330' height='300' border=0 style='border:none;'> on 11/1/2019, 11:20 pm

First , my perennial rye lawn that I just mowed . It stays prettier than fescue all winter , and both look bad in this hot sunny spot around July , so the rye looks better longer than fescue in this spot , and looks a lot better than fescue all winter .

After three days in a row last week with a freeze warning I finally got a freeze this morning . I wasn't , however , in the freeze warning below . I guess they feel like after three false alarms I should be ready by now lol .

New freeze warnings for Saturday morning . New " after the freeze " pictures at my house further below :
.

Freeze pictures :
.

I cleaned up a little being that this is the front yard :
.

I haven't cleaned up the backyard yet because it's not so noticeable to neighbors :
.

Below are the pictures after only frost and no freeze .

Old map last Monday morning :
.

Another warning for Sunday morning after last night's warning with a frost . This might seriously turn everything to mush :
Sunday morning's warnings :
.

Saturday morning :
.

Doesn't look that bad . I expected worse . The official low was 34F . The damage should start becoming more apparent over the next few days , plus more low 30'sF forecast for the next 2 mornings . Definitely not a hard freeze though . Mekong Giants . :

Mekong Giants left and Musa basjoo on the right . The Mekong Giants here really did get big this year :

Great pictures Will. This is December weather.

Still sunny in the bay area..73-75f..nights cool at 47f give or take.
Feels different for it to be warm even as the sun sets out there.

I'll take what you've got . OK here now getting into the 60'sF and no frost/freeze warnings till the cold of next weekend comes down . That should be my actual first freeze this weekend .

Looking good in North Carolina Will.
Our weatherman was showing snow in your area Friday or Saturday. Hope it misses you. There is a chance of snow here early Friday. Too early for this. We normally see snow Christmas or New Years.

Rob , thankfully that snow isn't in the forecast anymore . I saw that on the European model a few days ago too . Would love to avoid a hard freeze for another few weeks but this weekend is supposed to get upper 20'sF and that will definitely finish off the banana leaves .
Thanks ,
Will
