A peak inside two teepees today:
No apparent mold or moisture problem.

Looks like the inner plastic collapsed around this one, which could lead to moisture problems by spring.

Most years you wouldn't need heat, Tim.
Hopefully your snow cover will help get your plants through this mess.

Last spring when I uncovered them, there was a lot of fungus on one Washy.
But it grew out of it, despite losing the top bud, so now it's leaning.
Fingers crossed for this year.
