only got to -5 or -6C. What is that, like a zone 8b.

I hate the difference that 5 miles makes. 🙄

But we'll most likely go lower in January 😡

January cold Barb?.....................winter is over............I'm planting my garden tomorrow. 😉

I had a low of -27c in the night 3 days ago 🙁 . .temp. probe in palm box and mummywrap indicated +2c 😀 ...looks good

Ben

Wow, i havnt been that cold yet. Nothing below -17C (way west of me) and one station reported -23C (even further away from the lake than the airport). Im closer to the lake, which moderates the temps, so i could be a bit warmer then -17.

Its good to know that your huts stayed that warm. Is the thermometer in the palm frond or on the ground?

I hope you don't, that might put us down here in another cold spell. 😀

While I am seriously hoping for milder winters as the ONLY benefit of GW...I don't expect it to happen so quickly that we'll be keeping the flip-flops near the door.

Cold will come.

Dammit.

Barb

Cold will come.

Barb

I agree.

GW is just wishful thinking, the more I want it the colder it gets.

I plant about a dozen cactus in AZ and that winter they get record cold- kills every cactus I planted. 😆

It was -23c in Montreal 30km away. The probe thermometer is located near the foliage, the ground not suppose to freeze. I installed a heat cable with is own thermostat on the ground. But now, i cant verify cause there s to much snow. Before getting all that snow, the ground was frozen everywhere but not at the feet of the palms. I will post new video on youtube soon. Ill open up the mummywrap this week, the forecast say a high of 0-2c all the week. 😀

Be careful what you wish for....we are supposedly in a cool/cold faze now and have low sunspot activity-depending on who you believe.

If last year was one of the warmest ever and we are entering a cold faze,what happens when we go back to the warm faze? 😯

I think the USA was one of the warmest ever.......the globe may make a top 10? Not sure since Dec. data is not in yet. So far for 2012 UAH has global temp of +0.157 above average and RSS has +0.200 above average. GISS always has the highest global temps since Jim Hansen is running that program.....he scares me.....his predictions are way off and I think he 'cooks the books' to make up for the bad predictions.

I know one thing, if it's warm in the east it's cold in Idaho. 😆

Hi Aaron,

your gonna be cold since we are gonna be warm this week! :bootyshake:

Hi Aaron,

So true! I think we are going to have one or two days above freezing then below freezing. 😆

Cold is coming back here this week 😥

how cold are you going to get Andy??

I saw some mid 60s in the forecast here,they have been so far off lately
in general that I think I will wait and see before I run out and buy
sunflower seeds to plant 😆
