Title: Citrus cold frames held up under 20 inch snow storm.
Post by: Citradia on December 10, 2018, 08:43:17 PM
The space heaters inside helped melt heavy snow off tops of covers. My boxier frame with flatter roof held snow but I think the thermo cube for that heater malfunctioned so I went to Tractor Supply today after the roads were cleared and got another one; supposed to get down to 24 degrees tonight.

I had to pull snow off of roof to prevent collapse. Some other pics:

Fingers crossed that all goes well over there. Here, winter has been very mild but that can change very quickly.
