This should give you folks from the great white north a good laugh. =
We are about to have what we refer to as a "hard freeze" here in =
Houston. THis means that the temperature will drop into the mid 20's =
tonight and may do the same tommorrow night. Considering the fact that =
the temperature was almost 80 the day before yesterday we are freezing =
our collective patooties off.....brrrrrr. Don't call me a whimp, we just =
never get a chance to acclimate.
My shop is not heated. The question is whether or not the pots that =
I currently have drying or waiting to be trimmed will freeze and crack. =
This is not something that I've ever even cosidered before and don't =
have a clue. I would like to err on the side of caution if the truth be =
known. Some of the pieces represent a substantial amount of work.
Any help is greatly appreciated
