Unseasonable warmth

We've been having some pretty nasty winter weather here in Raleigh. Then, there was this nice patch of warmth that came in for most of this week. Our house doesn't have a lot of natural light, so the plants take a big hit during winter. I count on these opportunities every winter to get them out and soak up some sun (and in the case of the last 2 days: rain) to make it until Spring. What i do NOT count on is looking out the window early in the morning and seeing them getting snowed on:






The last pic is taken from the one above it and enlarged. If I have to do digital magic to make the snow visible it must not have been that bad, right? Yeah, I guess. The important thing is it didn't frost last night while they were out. Had that happened, and had harm befallen even one of the 6 plants pictured, it would've been "Go time" between me and....frost.
