What can people do to protect plants in freezing weather?
One technique that often works is to wrap the plants in cloth. For example, I have hanging baskets of fuchsia plants, and when the weather is predicted to be below freezing, I wrap them with towels. Also, heavy watering before the cold arrives can help to protect plants from damage. For very cold or extended cold weather, you can bury the plants with mulch such as straw or wood chips. This will insulate the plants from extreme cold.

Why does birds have waterproof feathers?
Penguins' feathers are waterproof for two reasons. 1. To protect against the cold. Their feathers are coated with oil from a gland near the tail to increase the "waterproof" factor. They have a downy underlayer of feathers which traps air against the skin. This layer of air is warmed by the penguin's body heat. 2. To enable them to swim quickly and powerfully by streamlining their bodies. Penguin feathers are short and packed together tightly, overlapping, to keep water away from the skin and to create a smooth surface to lower drag.
