Hamilton County was included in a National Weather Service freeze warning for Sunday morning, Nov. 8, covering the east-side communities of Indian Hill, Madeira, Mariemont, Terrace Park and Sycamore Township.
The NWS Wilmington alert issued at 1:05 a.m. Sunday forecast temperatures as low as 30 degrees across its warning area and was scheduled through 10 a.m. that day. That was a regional forecast, not a report that every village recorded 30 degrees.
The agency warned that frost and freezing conditions could kill sensitive vegetation and possibly damage unprotected outdoor plumbing. Its advice was to protect tender plants from the cold.
For future cold nights, Ohio State University Extension’s gardening guidance recommends moving tender potted plants indoors and protecting vulnerable garden plants with suitable covers such as frost cloth, sheets or blankets.
The Sunday warning described here is past. Residents checking current conditions should consult NWS Wilmington’s latest forecasts and alerts.
