I wish we had a foot of snow when it was 0 here. The problem here in Indiana is that we don't get reliable snow cover. If we did, things would be much better. Snow actually helps insulate plants from the cold and adds to their hardiness. You might want to try basjoo there. I talked to a guy in Montana who had success with it!
