I took some pictures of my plants, something to do:), the batteries ran out on my camera and I changed them but didn't get the date set right, but these were taken today.

the fern.

The morning glory seedlings.

The hyacinth still with snow.

Lilies.

Don't you think everything looks like it survived?? I think if the snow had hurt them you would already be able to tell?

I just brought the whole fountain in last night so I didn't have to worry about the pump. I'm not putting it back out there till this weekend when I sure we're done with the cold nights.

When I've seen things killed by frost, they wilt and turn black... Your stuff probably did just fine :~D

I think everything looks great! They should be fine because snow, and even ice, doesn't hurt plants, it's the super cold temps that do it. Around here, when the fruit trees have bloomed out and they're predicting temps down below freezing for most of the night, they'll turn on these big sprinklers on the trees so that they all get coated with ice. The ice layer actually acts as an insulator, keeping the blooms right at 32 degrees and doesn't let the colder air get to them. It sounds really weird, but apparently it works.

It looks to me like they all made it fine. I'm sure if they didn't you'd see the freeze damage on them.
