So... cover any transplants you put in the ground over the beautiful weekend. I just put something atop my Jack in the Pulpits, that I lost to a similar freeze last year. And I added a little more mulch around some emerging perennials.
I will try to find a map of where the warning is, but if not, look at the links in the notice. And next year, read the Farmer's Almanac, which predicted just such a weather event for today last Fall....
