Icy and frosty

I was let outside for a while during the weekend. It's been pretty cold out here, between -6 and -10 celsius. It hasn't been snowing yet, so it's just frosty everywhere. Mom says it's bad for the plants when the temperature drops so low before the snow comes, since the snow protects the plants during winter. We'll see if there are any living plants left next summer in our garden...
