Well James, we lost power but I did find a way to bring all the cacti and succulents into the house. So they all came through with flying colors.
Everything is back outside and doing great now and we are expecting high temperatures in the 70's and 80's.

Had a 7" sheet of snow and ice that lasted 10 days - lows around 8° - that was an all time record
turned off my water to prevent burst pipes - no water for those 10 days

All of my plants are still indoors, waiting until night lows are above 50° sustained..maybe, with luck end of this week -

Yes now we are expecting lows from 60 F to 70 F So we are not worried for overnight temperatures. We are in the midst of Spring here in Houston, TX
