It snowed in Houston too! Luckily, I had prepared a couple of days in advance by wrapping the trunks of my Ae-Ae, Ice Cream, Hua Moa, Cal. Gold, and a couple others to try to protect them. When I went to bed last night around 10 p.m it was 32.2 degrees and there was about 1/2" of snow on the ground. It warmed up a couple of degrees overnight and had all melted by the time I got up a little before 5 a.m. We are now back in the 40's and headed to the low 50's for today. The leaves may be toasted on my bananas but my goal was to keep the pseudostem from freezing. Hopefully it worked. I also wrapped a bunch of Orinoco fruit that is in development right now. I'll try to post some pics I took last night when I have time.
