Help! It's snowing outside and predicted to get down to 26 degrees tonight! Should I cover my artichokes, cauliflower, or broccoli?? I covered everything else . . .

Yes. Mulch, and cover. Try to keep no colder than 50 deg.

I would cover the artichokes but the brassicas should be fine. Snow is a good insulator anyway,

OP is probably in Montana or Wyoming. Alberta (Canada) got dumped with up to a foot of snow in some places, with lows down to the mid-teens in a few areas.

The weather has been crazy for some of us! Northern WA/ID hit hard frosts. We just got low to mid 30s. Going to be in the 80s/50s in a few days.
