Got them crossed for you! Have you got some fleece???

think they will be ok, frost isn't a real problem here just wind, fleece wouldn't last long here in winter unless i used a big anchor to hold it

what's your average temp in the winter?

hard to say Lori it varies from year to year but it seldom gets below freezing, should think it gets below freezin about 7-10 days a year if that

Love the Gulf Stream current!! Communities in Canada that are at the same level of latitude are very cold in the winters.
