No, no snow here, and I'm not really expecting much but maybe some flurries. I'm from Florida, the environment here is similar. I know that in some situations in FL, they will run the sprinklers on plants and/or citrus because the ice that coats them will act as an insulator. If I thought that I could manage it, I'd swipe one of the rolls of hay from an adjacent field and stack that everywhere to insulate things.

Good call!

I got similar concerns as yours so am following along for tips from our northern neighbors.

I do think running the faucets is good advice for our situation.

Yes, we've been living in an apt in the Montrose area for the past 6+ years, but in Dec we bought a 100yo house 80+ miles down I-10 west from downtown.
