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.

Hi Aaron,

I thought it would be fun to add it to the forum. :D I picked Boise because i thought it might be close to your climate? I could try another city in Idaho if you have any suggestions.

Regards,
Jay

Winter Day Temperatures

Post by Ianmc »

Nice one Jay.
Just been in to check your forecasts.
My compliments to you and your friends in Pacific North West for your ability to retain sub tropicals over winter where day temperatures stay below freezing.

Thanks Ian,

I can't really say the forcasts from wunderground are 100 percent accurate but they are close. Like today it says we have heavy snow but actually it's suuny and clear skies. :D The temp is accurate at the moment.

Jay

Wunderground & Google personal weather stations

Post by Ianmc »

In Wunderground there is a path to google personal weather stations which I just found.
Best one is Hybrid which shows local map of area and various temps.

Really Cold

Post by Ianmc »

These sure are really cold temperatures.Grass minimums must be close to zero fahrenheit.
Certainly shows the effect of proximity to the sea at Vancouver to the much milder temperatures there.

Re: Really Cold

Post by Jay-Admin »

Yeah, Those temps are actually taken at the airport where it's usually a few degrees colder than where i'm at. Right now at the time of this post it's -9c in my back yard. Still very cold. :( Can't wait till this cold snap is over.

Hi Joe,

I got the email that you sent to admin @ palmsnorth.com. I haven't changed the other one, maybe it's not working? Having a low of -1.8c would be nice for my area. :D I think we just made it above that for our high today. :(

Wind and cold?

Post by Okanagan desert-palms »

Although we get cold temps in Kelowna so far a zone 7a this winter. I think what is going to be the determining factor in survival of cold hardy Yuccas and Palms is the lack of wind .We rarely have wind ,and if we do it is usually a slight breeze.I here all the time how it is the wind that does the damage to the plant cells in conjunction with the cold and wet. I guess we can thank our deep arid Okangan Valley and blocking mountains for this. Do you agree Jay?

I agree John, in the winter months it usually isn't too windy wich can really help our plants make it through the cold.

Jay
