Rick,
We do get cold winters with the highs in the 30s and we can get down to the teens at night. We had snow twice last winter... January 1 and again in early February, but it only stayed on the ground for one day. But, those temps are short lived... 7 weeks or so. According to the ATP gardening schedule, we have over 310 frost free days: January 30-December 8.
And, yes, according to The Weather Channel we are expecting high 60s and low 70s coming up which is very surprising. However, the winds can be a real bear an is typically 15 mph year round with gusts up to 60 mph during some seasons.
We are at 3500 elevation and believe me, the seasons change overnight here. Truly, bam, the season has changed. Unfortunately, that's what happened in early November right after I planted.....
I was expecting the low 70s during November.
