Hello,
Today is a very snowy and cold day, the temperature is 26F, my cacti are covered in snow . Before this day my cactus had a normal consistency but now they are very rigid Like they're frozen.
Is it normal or a problem ?
Thank you.

I have already 100L of pumice and 66L of lapilli and 100kg of sand(1.4-3mm).
I start my work in march.
