During the 62 years I've owned this house on the Oregon coast, it only got down to 32 once...until last week, when we had temps in the 20s for three days, during an ice storm. Lines down everywhere, trucks unable to get over the Coast Range so no meat or dairy or veggies in our few stores. We moved here full time ten years ago, partly to avoid ice/snow during winters. Silly us! Not only did a tree take out power lines right in front of our place, but one of the broken lines was lying across my car, so no way was I going to try to charge my cell phone! It took a tree service FOUR hours to clear trees that had fallen across lines, across the road, and then the power trucks three hours to repair the lines...two days later.

@joyces and all...Love your property. I'm so sorry for your troubles this year. Global warming is not...You are living in a lovely location you chose for all the right reasons. We never know, however...But, one year does not mean the next decade will not be as wonderful as you planned!
We've had a very light winter this year in Florida. A short 2-day frost in December, unusually early for us, but since, it's been lovely. In the 50s-80s until yesterday. With a cool NNW wind, the wind chill brought us below freezing temps both Saturday night and tonight. I covered my patio tropical plants and in the front yard, thankfully I was feeling better with COVID-19 pneumonia and able to do all that needed doing.
Blessings, my friend. Elizabeth
