We’ve had a relatively mild winter so far. But this week, the temperatures at night will hit freezing. That’s why it’s time, once again, to get out the styrofoam cups to protect our cacti. The styrofoam protects cacti from freezing. I do wonder how they made it through cold freezing temps out in the wild, without the help of humans? Maybe they didn’t make it.
The one thing we haven’t had this winter is rain. There was a high pressure area that moved rain up north. My kids in the Bay Area had a very wet winter, but as you know So Cal did not. Rain missed us, too. February is the wettest month of the year, so I’m hoping we get rain then.
I’ve read the next two weeks will be very cold for most of the country. Thirty states will experience a Polar Vortex, bringing unusual weather with many areas below zero. Our coldest temperatures will be around 32 degrees, so we’re not in any danger. I just don’t like cold!
What is your weather forecast? Are you going to experience extreme cold? How do you prepare for it?
