I have had the "vibe" for multiple months now.  I hope I am wrong.

But I see this pic,  this past summer, etc ... I get 80s vibes where things tracked up and over the SW.  Sometimes ending in Texas or further east. 

My chile is still blooming, incredibly late(for Rio Rancho).  In the eighties(I won't say what year), I had tomatoes until Christmas(in Rio Rancho )

Just a feeling. 

 

I still have tomatoes growing right now and usually those tomatoes die off around like october 15 but this year nothing has died, not even the peppers died during our light frost not too long ago, and right now it feels like august in Chicago so everything is going great! I was even surprised my plumeria did not suffer any cold damage and all my cannas and peppers are still in full bloom. So this might be our first above-average sorta warm winter right now.

This thread has nearly 800 posts, 34000 views in ten months! Wow!

And I learned an avocado survived 23f. 

I know right ? Lol.  Everybody's paying attention to winter. I hope you're wrong with your feelings about the 1980s. If it keeps warm like this and we get an artic blast in the teens again I can only imagine some marginal palms not going to make it without protection.

I checked the winter lows for the year I am thinking

Albuquerque 12f

Atlanta 9f

Dallas 10f

San Antonio 17f

All looked very short duration. So not crazy. 

I hope I am wrong and we all have a good palmy winter.

17f for SA. That's even colder than last year.  I hope not Jim.

It snowed in Hawaii earlier this week if that's any consolation.
