Sans Freeze in NW DC

Despite vastly conflicting forecasts of fwhether or not it would freeze, I hauled in a number of my most tender tropical palms from the front porch last night. They spent the night in the living room. The official low in my back yard was a balmy 34 degrees F, several important degrees warmer than predicted by the local weather guys. I think we'll get the real thing tonight, though, as this freeze is setting records even into the deep South.
