High of 13F or -10.5C on Wed and a low of 0F or -17.7C :x This is the kind of thing that hurts plants. I still have flowers out. Same thing happened last year. And it snowed today. :cry:

Where is my global-warming. We need to burn some tires. :D JK :lol:

Aaron that sudden temp drop does hurt plants.
A foot of snow would help with insulation.

Have you ever thrown an old blanket or two over your Y.rostrata, brevifolia etc. for these early and sudden temp drops?

I don't with the bigger plants, unless it drops to say -10F/-23.3C but I do have a bunch of towels that I will put over the smaller plants come wed. I don't want to make babies out of my plants. They gotta be tough or die around here. :twisted:

...the trick is to get them old enough for them to be tough...glad you cover your beauties when necessary, Aaron.

Thanks Jay.
That's the only funny thing about the cold...the smilies.
Like they say "a picture tells a thousand words"... or in this case, a thousand BRRRRRRs.

Poop, it's cold, and getting colder.
You know it's cold around here when nobody wants a beer...

The Okanagan's windchill overnight will be -27C -17F

That's not fair! I want snow! Why can the West Coast have the cold and snow and all we get is lousy rain (at least it was above 10C, had it been below it would have been unbearable)? We want our weather back :sad5: !

Seriously though. I do want to be able to skate on the pond in time for xmas. Give me that much at least! All I'm getting is this (we might get a freeze over the next few nights):

Mike, thanks for asking... I would call it SMOG. An airport area is the lowest, the coldest, the most polluted, the less developed part of the city. Too many poor people populating this area have no money for using natural gas for heating mostly coal or fire wood, or even plastic trash, so sad.

I told my wife we will be moving down there as soon as I pay off our house, say 10-15 years. I almost have enough to buy a home there now but would have nothing for retirement. :x :)
It gets cold there also, they had a low the other night of 21F/-6.1C. But I think 21F there is nothing like 21F here. It does not say that cold for very long and warms up in the day time.

By the way how cold did your area get last night?

Good for you, Aaron.
Careful what you wish for...we're "done" (happily).
Then one day we woke up and we were old, but at least we still wake up. :wink:

Seems the worst cold is behind us for now.
Coldest was Nov.23 -19.3C -2.7F
Windchills were brutal though...easily -25C.

Temps creeping up slowly.
Nov.24 -17.7C
Nov.25 -12.2C
We're supposed to be near freezing for a high by Saturday.

Our 14-day f'cast shows below normal.

Might be a heck of a long winter.

Seems your worst weather parallels ours; you just don't get it very often, which is great.

They have a very interesting climate. My nieghbors had a low of 18F/-7.7C last year and the year before they had 12F/-11.1C. But yet they grow aloes, saguaros, w. robutas, w. filiferas, dactylifera palms etc. What blows my mind is that 30/40 miles away in the town of Bisbee there are 2 palms that have seen -9F/-22.7 in 1987. They are 85 years old and look like the have never seen cold before. :?

They have a very interesting climate. My nieghbors had a low of 18F/-7.7C last year and the year before they had 12F/-11.1C. But yet they grow aloes, saguaros, w. robutas, w. filiferas, dactylifera palms etc. What blows my mind is that 30/40 miles away in the town of Bisbee there are 2 palms that have seen -9F/-22.7 in 1987. They are 85 years old and look like the have never seen cold before. :?
Aaron, and what kind of palms they are? And I'm wondering what particularly agaves and yuccas grow there?

The palms are filiferas, but they grow just about any yucca and agave you can think of. Of cource that -8F was a very rare thing but....

Here is a pic of the palms there. "85 years old"

And a big agave, lots and lots of agave there

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.

Well... we broke another record. Old record 3F/-16.1C had -2F/-19.4C here. I can already see heavy burn on all of my yuccas. Normaly I don't see burn untill late winter early spring. We will see what makes it to spring, if anything lives that long.

Between work and weather I could not cover all that I wanted to. :|
