maybe not exactly toasty, but the sensation of deep cold on the skin can be burning ;)
at one stage (somewhere before numbness and necrosis?..lol)

First frost of the year here - down to a mighty 1ºC this morning. We only have frosts on clear nights, so as soon as the sun comes up, bye bye frost.

And I'm something like 800Km from Ray and we have had 39oC today, and supposedly forecast rain for tomorrow.  Oh I would LOVE us to get an inch of rain, but I think I would just be dreaming.  We'll be lucky if we get much at all, but hopefully for change we'll get a decent drop.  So dry, windy and dust blown in from west of here.  Shocker of a day.

I can't imagine what would be worst -39 or +39.   Only -7 here and quite a lot of snow.

Olga, we typically have no lasting snow cover through the winter here and temperatures in the range you mention (we are just going into a melt  again).  It's the norm here and I have few losses each year.   It might be different for truly marginal plants that actually depend on snow cover...
