Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

Aaron excellent photos as usual. I feel like I know the area even without visiting. Thanks for posting.

Aaron,
nice photos!
For 0 F, there is much less damage than I would have expected. It looks worse than Tyler, Texas (low of +16 F), but not too much worse. --Erik

I am not sure I understand what happened here.

Sago for one will have total defoliation below about 15,
if these survived 0(f) with green leaves they would probably
be the first ever. :dontknow:

Thanks for the tour.

The palms look surprisingly well after a brutal winter. Good to see them alive.

The pics of the ones in Kingman, I think seen 14F? after looking at weatherspark.com, but the ones in Bisbee I'am not sure of? They might be replants? or were covered? The Building could have gave protection. Some of the people there said it was below 0F in Bisbee.

If those same plants were here, and it got down to 10f, I think all the palms etc... would have been killed. :? Could be that the ground kept some warmth? I was so amazed at the plants that lived, I also seen a ponytail palm (Beacarnea Sp?) in Elfrida that was still alive, but had major burn. I'm not 100% on the ID but I have seen it a few times and always has some burn after winter. I would take a pic, but is right off the highway, not a good place to take a pic.

Definitely lot's of cement around some of those palms.

Really amazing in the desert or really dry areas
what palms can come back from!
