After looking at all of your posting of how cold it is and all of the snow..... All I can say is "Lucky I Live In Hawaii!!" If possible, I'll try to send y'all some sunshine!!

Hi Hawaiian

When I am close to my stove, I can imagine the sunshine, you send this way .....this night we had beleow 22.5 degress .

Hi Paul Burke

Your trees are possible stuck to the stand/table outside, so they will be close to impossible to mowe.
If I wanted to thaw up a tree, I would place it indoor, in a dark corner, in a cold room.

Very kind regards Yvonne

Looking at all the pictures and reading through all the posts reminds me of a song by John Denver called SUNSHINE.

To all IBC members and especially those who are in icy conditions...

"IF I HAD A WISH THAT I COULD WISH.... THEN I'd WISH SUNSHINE ALL THE TIME" or something like this...

Smile is a good substitute for sunshine

Keep Smiling

Here is where I keep my trees. It has a clear plastic roof to allow light in. I covered the front with bubble wrap and plastic to keep out the worst of the cold winds.



My trees on the shelves inside. Every pot is frozen solid !

I am still happy to say my trees has not been frozen yet. about 1-2 degrees.
They have no light at all, also the evergreens is kept in the dark....last year they vere in the cellar for 4 months, and the pines was looking exacly the way they vere, when I placed them there....the roots had grown very nice, but the tree above, looked as it had been sleeping....no veak collour, and no growth.
You can see my cellar in my tread "hybernation" ( did I spell this right?)

Kind regards Yvonne

Sorry Paul Burke

"Hibernation" it was I was too fast.....

We did have -20c on the island of funen Denmark, also did see my trip to my parents in Belgium today disapear on the slippery Danish highway, at the moment its snowing again

Well however I wish you all a merry x-mass and a great 2011.
