Does it snow every day?

It certainly seems so.  Under these buckets are three pepper plants and one tomato that my enthusiastic neighbor bought and planted in our little garden space.  Alas, the pepper leaves have all dropped off leaving only bare stalks to bear this cold and the top leaves of the tomato have blackened like a face with frostbite.  I fear we will have to start again, but I feel responsible for these fragile beings while they still stand.
