@kimguy Not too bad, I'm in zone 8b, right now we're having days in the 70 and nights in the 50s. Second freeze is coming this weekend. We're 'chilly' november through feb, with lows around 31-24 degrees, but never in long stretches. We have 2-3 cold days, and then like a week of warmer weather - and back and forth. We do get "snow-dustings" very rarely. But it did happen one day out of the whole winter last year and maybe a week the year before. But it never really sticks or builds up any.
