I clicked on your weather and your forecast for tomorrow night is 18F degrees and that sent me scrambling to see what my own forecast is. Upper twenties tonight and tomorrow night. I'm in SW Alabama and we're warmer than you!

I use to work at a nursery in Pensacola and we left the sprinklers on all night once. The next day the trees were all broken from ice formation. Some nights it's a good idea to leave the water running, but I wouldn't suggest it with 18 degrees - upper twenties might be risky too.

Let us know tomorrow how you fare during this freeze. I'll be watching for your post and here's wishing you good luck during this extreme weather.
