So, our zero centigrade is your 32 Farenheit. So you are bumping along around zero. How cold has it got there?
Here, in the bosom of North East Essex, cold would be -2 Cent. I think the coldest we have seen it here is -8 Cent, poss -10 overnight. Rarely snows as we are on a peninsula but, when it does, it can get deep. Where we live is around an old Hospital and I remember in '82 the snow landed so deep here that it completely covered the cars and a friend of mine who worked at this hospital had to abandon his car on the main road and walk the last 3 miles in and said, at one point, he realised he was standing on the top of a car.
That year, the army had to fly two massive generators into the Hospital as the mains power was out for about a week.
Much like Costa Rica since the Hurricane Donald !

It's been below freezing here. A few years back we had a couple weeks of sub-zero (C) weather--at night, of course. I lost many plants that winter. Generally, this is as cold as it gets. For February, the thirties is unusually low. As you know, summers in the Sonoran Desert can be unbearably hot. Last July, we hit 116 in Tucson; even higher in Phoenix. I grew up on the mid-Atlantic Coast, where winter temperatures can fall well below zero with ice and snow abounding. For several years, I lived in the mountains of Pennsylvania, where snowfall reached a total of 17 feet one winter.
