Freak winter cold front

Well, so much for the unseasonably warm winter we have been having.  Enter one of the worst cold fronts in recent European history.  Our highs have been about -5 C for the last week, and nighttime lows about -20 C.  This is supposed to continue for another week (update it lasted for 3 weeks) or so.  The only bright side (for the people) is that it has been relatively dry, which means safer travel whether by car, bike or foot.  I am sure my plants would appreciate the snow cover though.  I am sure that remaining pak choi and mizuna is long gone update they are looking yellow and ratty but hanging on, and I hope that the bulbs, tricked into early growth by the warm weather, make it through this cold spell. 

In other news, the balcony, which I use as a refrigerator in the winter months has turned into a deep freeze.  (Every inch is prime real estate in Europe! no space to be wasted on a large fridge)  Does anyone have ideas for frozen kimchi and frozen heads of cabbage?

I hope spring is on on it's way, so the excitement and planting madness can begin!
