You live where the ground doesn't freeze.


Wanna bet?

Granted, not as bad as where you are, but it happens. ?I'll sometimes
tent stuff with old sheets and run a clip lamp out there when I get
freeze warnings.


Where you live you'll get an occasional light frost that will affect
plants (really just dew freezing) but you don't get a hard freeze
where the ground freezes solid.

Another case of geographical location specific advice. Quite common here.
All must read with a grain or more of salt to judge if such advice is
appropriate for themselves.
