Hi kris2001,

If I were you, I would check the weatherunderground site linked below and watch for a stretch of several days where there will be no freezing night time temps. Colder temps are predicted for tonight, but I think from Mon on, should maybe be fine.

I think wrapping in bubble wrap might be risky.

Hopefully others will weigh in with some input.

Sue

Here is a link that might be useful: Just fill in the city and state or zip at the top for the forecast
