More snow is coming this weekend an maybe more in the coming week too. All of the cacti that take cold down to freezing have been brought back indoors, and they will probably have to wait a few weeks before night time temps are high enough to go back outside. All of the cacti that take cold down to and below zero are back in the cold frames and the lids are closed as they wait for snow. I still have some Opuntia in flower pots sitting out in the open that I'm covering with shade cloth. It's like going back to winter conditions for a while but still it will be much warmer than it was a few months ago. Most of these plants would be just fine with the snow cover, but some of them are starting to form flower buds and they will be more likely to keep the flower buds if they have protection.
