Re: Warmer-than-average winter in US acc to TWC
http://[img]http://www.bananas.o...7060[/img]
I just use my Rasputia meter (shown above) Last winter it was extra cold, and her fur was so thick she looked like a Q-tip with legs. This winter, she only has a medium coat, so here on the West Coast, I don't expect to see much freezing weather, but am trying out an umbrella based prototype for a banana cloche for my Orinoco mat. Basically, I'm covering a beach umbrella frame with clear vinyl, the seams will be glued, and it will be able to fold and be stowed. The vinyl "skirting" will Velcro and tie onto the edge of the umbrella. All of the smaller bananas are in pots, and can be pulled into the gazebo/greenhouse for the coldest weather. It's Dec. 1st and we're seeing Santa Ana winds in both Southern and Northern California. I grew up here, and have never seen this kind of weather.

Re: Warmer-than-average winter in US acc to TWC
Its warmer than normal here too. We had a light frost really early in the fall and we are now getting normal frosts here. The bananas keep on growing and putting out new leaves, then the frost kills them and so on. It will be warm for 1 week and then cold another, I either want it to be cold or warm from now on... Crazy weather!
