johnlt Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 This is the coldest I’ve ever seen here in Tucson. I also think it broke some long standing records. Currently 13 degrees with 25 mph wind so -5 windchill!!! High today in the low 30s. Expect the same weather tonight and tomorrow then warming up to the high 60s by the weekend. I know I lost all my citrus and several other less hardy plants. At least there is no precipitation and extremely low humidity (10%). Our Thursday bicycle ride has been cancelled so I guess it’s a good time to start on my taxes Link to comment

notacop Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Remarkably it do get cold in the desert. Christmas of '90-'91, I forget, came from Ft. Worth and Tucson had snow all over the hill sides. I was amazed that Canada came that far south to visit. I didn't get warm until I reached Palm Springs. Cold Sucks. It was 27 Degrees yesterday morn and 32 this morn at 0630. This is sunny So Cal for gosh sakes! Wah!! Link to comment
