It has been predicted that temperatures will be below freezing for the next few days (28-30F, -1 to -2C) should I bring in my bonsai for these days or should I just leave them be? Keep in mind one of them has just been repotted a few days ago and the other is a smaller pre bonsai. Thanks for the advice and happy new year!

Define ‘inside’
In your warm home or in a non heated greenhouse?

You got an answer to your question, which you have read, as you thanked for the reply.

Why are you asking the same question again?

Because previously it was not this cold. I am trying to see if snowfall would harm my bonsai. Well not only snowfall but it hailed last night and a few power lines were knocked down cause of a blackout in my town. In these harsher conditions I am worried that my younger and weakened bonsai would not survive.

Harsh? You call that harsh? Anyway, you already asked this question for these temperatures. The reply won't change.

In general, plants don’t care much about power lines, nor they move to a shelter when it gets cold. :whistle:

Junipers particularly are native to your climate, and even tho the specific variety you own (that I don’t remember) may not be, they more or less all share the same climate.
Leave it be and don’t worry too much, unless temps start going down to -10C or lower: some frost or snow would be for your tree way less of a threat than the climate you’d expose it to if you brought it inside.

That’s my bad I forgot to say that the power lines were blown down by high speed winds. I woke up to find one of my bonsai in my front door patio on its side 5ft from its original position with its pot blown away.

The one concession to the weather I make is to watch the forecast for high winds, etc., and then move all the trees down to the ground when something is coming. We get tornadoes and high winds fairly often and I have lost a lot of pots.

I do not worry too much about this type of normal cold.
I wired out a juniper yesterday. This morning I woke up to everything frozen solid. Also the tree I wired yesterday. And a tree I pulled from the growing bed last week.

As long as the temps do not drop long-term well below freezing, I leave them outside. Especially the junipers.

Considering the rain and frost cycles we are having here now, I have moved my olives and pomegranates under cover -partially in a shed and partially in a greenhouse.
