Our fall here in DFW was warm as well; we actually just got our first freeze two nights ago. The funny thing, though, is my boxies have been down for weeks. As soon as it started to get in the 50's at night, no one wanted to get up in the morning. I took them out on the really warm days, but didn't force the issue too much and ended up tucking them in a few weeks ago.

I did put an extra layer of leaves down yesterday b/c it dipped down to 22 degrees last night. I know that's nothing compared to your sub-zero weather, Jeff, but I have a feeling my boxies have been Texified, just like me and don't care for the nippiest bit of cold.

Have a safe winter, all.
