Tucson Winter – Baby It’s Cold Outside

As you can see we know how to bundle up when it gets cold outside.   A couple of weeks ago we had a few nights below freezing and one night  it even went down to 20 degrees in some areas around town.

Twenty degrees in Tucson is really cold and our vegetation isn’t used to weather that cold.

Now around Christmas time there is  a tradition of putting red Santa hats on top of cactus for decoration at the same time serving as a protector against frost on the cactus.

Since most HOA’s around Tucson require that all seasonal decorations be put away within two weeks of the holiday most of those cute Santa hats have made their way back into storage bins in the garage until they are needed next year.

Then the freeze hit and of course inventive Tucsonans had a solution.   Take that coffee cup when you are done with your morning coffee and recycle it.
