Minimum temp for Nerine

Just for the record, I've been told by our Bancroft
library which is the home of the home of the Mark Twain
collections, that the scholars have never been able to
verify the famous quote from Mark Twain you cite about one
of his coldest winters was the summer he spent in San
Francisco. However, we like to say that he probably would
have said it if anyone asked, and even if he didn't, it's
true. Ironically, we supposed to go up to the 90's in
Berkeley today.
