Most places in the US the temperatures get the lowest in mid January. Here in the desert it's usually the last week of December to the first week of January. I had my first frost of the season this morning.
The temptation of living in a place like this is to grow tropical plants that don't like frost at all. 360+ days a year, it's fine. But, you have to be sure to cover them for mornings like this. Last year we had temperatures in the 20's for several hours two days in a row which is too cold for just covering them. I bring some plants inside, but I don't have room for all of them.
