cold weather miscellany

Bob Werra warned back on December 7
Attention Californians and Arizonans, Jane's arctic express is hitting
us also. In my No. Calif. valley it hit 24F last night and 20F tonight.
This will be the coldest since 1998 when we had an arctic express with
temp. down to 18F.
We were lucky here in Phoenix. I'm in a cold spot but my lowest
temperature was 26F the first night then 29F the next. I had everything
covered or inside.
That 1998 blast was the worst since I moved to Arizona in 1983. I almost
lost a lemon tree; only the trunk survived. January 2007 was bad but not
so bad as 1998.
