A salutary reminder from another hemisphere, Alberto. As is the great freeze of 1972, when temperatures dropped below 30 F for 3 days straight, and which began 40 years ago tomorrow. (As a native New Englander, I find such figures laughable as do, I'm sure, many of our members from less hospitable climes, but as a California gardner I certainly do not).
