MickinMD ★ Posted November 19, 2022 Share #114 Posted November 19, 2022 I've been searching the web to find the coldest night temperatures tomato plants can survive. All I've found basically say the same thing: "Frost will form at a temperature lower than 32 degrees Fahrenheit, which will cause the tomato plants and their fruits to perish" and "less than 50° results in mealy tomatoes." My tomato plants have withstood 3 consecutive nites of 32°, 29°, and 31°F lows and look like the pics below taken today (11/19/22). This is an unusually warm Fall for us. They are getting a little mushy but still taste great, though the cherry tomatoes are still pretty crisp. If they withstand the low of 24° forecast for Monday morning and the 7 hours under 28°, we're not forecast to see 32° or less until the 2nd week of December and I'll leave them on the vines. There are still blossoms that don't seem to be wilting and a 5" Cherokee purple tomato, one of several - with a 1.5" Wapsipinicon Peach tomato - one of many - growing among leaves and branches that are beginning to wither. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to plow the driveway (it's 150 feet long) twice. The first time about 1/2 way thru the storm. If I waited until its over I'm not sure the JD tractor and the 48" snow blade could push the snow. And I had a place to push the snow. 6 1/2 feet You probably can't open you door if it opens out. There is no place for the snow, if you can get out. Where TF would you put it? They need end loaders and dump trucks and a about a week just to clear the roads. There are other concerns... This much snow on a home (or business) that doesn't have a very steep roof, my get overloaded and collapse. That's a LOT of weight. Many new homes have the high efficiency furnaces. The air intake and exhaust in many cases is on the side of the home. That would be burried under all of the snow. That can't be good at all for the furnace, people, etc... If there are power outages... the utility won't be able to restore power. One storm, we had to wait for the county to plow some roads before our trucks could even drive down the road. 6 1/2 feet... NOTHING is going to move for a while. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheep_herder ★ Posted November 19, 2022 Share #116 Posted November 19, 2022 We've never delt with that much snow at one time. With lesser amounts, we like living on a school bus route, as those are normally plowed early and kept clear. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That can't be goodat all for the furnace, people, etc..” yes, but it is something that is checked and cleared frequently. Also keeping at least a few passes up near the garage doors as clear as possible so the snow doesn’t fall in when getting the tractor out. you definitely cannot wait until it is over. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bikeguy Posted November 19, 2022 Share #119 Posted November 19, 2022 This will probably get worse.... More than 30 major roof collapses, most involving farm and flat-roof buildings, were reported overnight, officials said Friday, after snow Thursday brought the Buffalo area's three-day total to an epic 7 feet or more. link 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
