BS Man about Palms 2,517 Report post Posted December 19, 2012 yeaahhh... well CRAP! Just went upstairs about 8 am and the first time I have EVER seen frost on my deck! I think its because we were more humid than normal for this event and the rain was mild, not a lot.. prime conditions for frost.. high humdity, cool air. Geez... it looks like a Searle Spring sale...... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BS Man about Palms 2,517 Report post Posted December 19, 2012 Good news my little seedling tray out front under canopy seemed fine. Btw, we DID get this cold, or close for a night or two in Oct, but it was dry, so no frost... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rafael 433 Report post Posted December 19, 2012 So far, only 39F, a week ago. Right now, lots of rain and temps btw 50/60F. No protection at all, so far. But all the stuff is ready Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BS Man about Palms 2,517 Report post Posted December 20, 2012 Frank, its the deck/roof to my garage addition, so not solid concrete. Shon... I can't remember. Ask me again when its warm enough to go check. I think a big Cycad I weeded a long time ago and it didn't like it! Good luck Rafael! We need it too!

BS Man about Palms 2,517 Report post Posted December 20, 2012 Yesterday I didn't feel like going out to look as my recievers/transmitters need maintainence to read from inside, but my front yard mailbox (Which used to be exposed, but is almost canopy now) is reading 40F... while O'side airport is at 32F YAY!

MattyB 2,232 Report post Posted December 20, 2012 As usual, how cold you get is a matter of wind and canopy. Our hillside keeps the cold air moving, flowing downslope, preventing frost. There was a slight steady breeze all last night, keeping the temps from dropping too low. 41F out in the open 44F under canopy no dew due to very dry air Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stevetoad 2,024 Report post Posted December 21, 2012 31.5 at 6am. That's now 2 nights in a row for me below freezing. Bananas are tan, plumerias lost the last of there leaves, becariophoenix windows got 25% burn. Everything else looks fine so far. One that surprised me was veitchia montgomeryana. It's under my jacaranda tree but shows zero damage. I thought it would spot up for sure. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
