I mummy wrapped it in fiberglass insulation and had a small space heater trained on it when we got a cold snap.

Congrats John.
Very impressed with CIDP's survival.
Being near the lake, you're certainly milder than my min temps (-20C, three times this winter).
I planted mine out last month so that's encouraging.
Thanks for the pic!
