Folks grow garlic in areas where the temperature plummets below 0F. In fact, often well below. That's usually hardneck though.

Cross posted... I agree with Ken, snow helps to insulate the plants. Believe me, Yan -- if it grows for me up here, it will grow just fine for you (and I do grow both hardneck and softneck, and had good success with Creole garlic this year as well!)
