It hasn’t gone down to 32°F here since 2007 though. Do you get below freezing temps very often? Edited November 26, 2020 by Jim in Los Altos 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mike-coral gables 506 Report post Posted November 27, 2020 We get threats of frost /freeze almost yearly , Jan 2018, had a low of 28F . Thankfully I’m on a 5000 acre lake which seems to moderate the temps a bit higher Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
