Not my weather, but a friend of a friend just popped over to visit her family in Alberta. Arrived in a blizzard and minus 30°C. As Michael Hordern said in that wonderful ghost story ‘Oh whistle and I’ll come to you, my lad’, upon seeing the bedclothes in his room writhing, “Oh no… No… No…”

Help needed with Buxus Plants!
I removed all my Box this year due to box moth caterpillar damage. Not worth battling with it. Other alternatives if you want evergreen topiary are Yew, Ilex crenata and Euonymus Green Spire.
