FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda You may have heard that California citrus and other crops have been hit by a cold wave, and, as usual, Arizona is not far behind in the cold snap temperatures. Yes, far too cool to sit on the patio and sip margaritas, by my standards.
How cold is it?
We’re on the mountain at 1800+ feet and suffered the usual winter damage to aloe and bougainvillea plants. We were able to cover smaller flowering shrubs. The coldest night has been 25 degrees. The coolest day about 46 degrees.
The cacti? They don’t mind the cold—even snow!
It’s comical to drive around town where it looks like people are drying their laundry haphazardly all over their yard due to the multitude of mismatched coverings they managed to scrounge up to stave off the frost.
The birdbath that remains in the shade has looked like this all day. Frozen solid. Never thaws.
I don’t mind the cold so much, being from Canada. It gives me the the opportunity to wear my “Canadian clothes” that I don’t wear at any other time.
We also get a brief test of the heat exchanger. When it’s 56 degrees in the house in the morning, it’s time to fire it up. We already know the A/C works.
What gets me is, we get just enough nights below freezing to damage the flowers, and then it’s back to our normal 40′s again.
Some summer daisies living in a pot were lucky to be rescued and brought in each night and continue to thrive, but other than that, the yard is looking pretty drab, but no worries! The snap is nearly over and we’ll be back to more seasonal mid-to-high-60s in a couple of days.
Sure beats scraping windows!
