Our west Michigan snow machine (lake effect) has been going for over a day now. Fortunately we are on the east side and only have 5 inches or so on the ground. It is dang cold, high 20's during the days. We have a fire in the woodstove almost every night.
I started some fall romaine in an outside barrel in early October. It was doing good and I kept it under glass. When it started getting too cold I brought it in in smaller pots - 5 of them and set them by our south side slider. Even though we got plenty of sun in November it never got more than a few inches tall. So much for that experiment! I cut it all off and ate with a pathetic last cherry tomato cut up. A micro microgreen salad. The last of the tiny broccoli I found still growing will probably go into an omelet tomorrow morning.
It's going o be a long winter.

I simply could not live as far north as you do. In fact, I wish I had moved south at times.
