Some icy pics Posted by Fred SC on January 11, 2025, 7:48 am Not much problem. Roads are dry but ice on palms is a problem! I hope the fronds bounce back! Here are a few pics this morning. https://i.ibb.co/G2N3vtW/IMG-6072.jpg https://i.ibb.co/64gVPmp/IMG-6071.jpg https://i.ibb.co/J7JKXch/IMG-6073.jpg https://i.ibb.co/h91wL3K/IMG-6074.jpg https://i.ibb.co/M1x9WP5/IMG-6075.jpg https://i.ibb.co/McDGD6Q/IMG-6065.jpg

Re: Kevin seTN Posted by Fred SC on January 11, 2025, 12:41 pm, in reply to "Kevin seTN " Yes, Sago Palm fronds will probably turn brown, but I cut them off in spring anyway so it is fine. Thanks, Kevin, yes, the windmill is getting some size on it .

Re: Some icy pics Posted by Rob N TN on January 11, 2025, 1:31 pm, in reply to "Some icy pics" Fred those are some nice pics of the barrio. The plants and palms look great. I hope Ms. Dorothy's Butia Palm laughed it off. More cold temps (z8) dropping southbound a few times this week so dont let your guard down just yet. Thanks for posting the winter storm with a South Carolina twist. It's a little odd seeing the ice there.

Re: Some icy pics Posted by Fred Sc on January 11, 2025, 2:16 pm, in reply to "Re: Some icy pics" Well, Rob, temps today are low 40’s so there are no signs of ice now. It was like it was raining out back earlier with all the ice melting off tree limbs. Glad you nor I got the worst of this storm.

Butia Posted by Tom in PA on January 11, 2025, 3:02 pm, in reply to "Some icy pics" How’s your Butia Fred? Hope it isn’t harmed. I’m sure the Trachycarpus will be okay.

Re: Butia Posted by Fred Sc on January 11, 2025, 5:44 pm, in reply to "Butia" I covered it up with sheets and to keep sheets dry . It should be ok. Our lowest temp thus far this winter is about 19.

Re: Some icy pics Posted by Mark z7 Sharptown, MD on January 12, 2025, 4:13 am, in reply to "Some icy pics" I prefer all my snow to the ice, even though I don't want either of them. I hope you have no damage from the weather event.

Re: Some icy pics Posted by Fred SC on January 12, 2025, 7:52 am, in reply to "Re: Some icy pics" No damage at all , mark. It all melted away by noon here. That’s the way I like it, lol.
