In the vicinity of Sacramento, it's been below freezing each night this week - frost on the roofs and lawns, a layer of ice on windshields at sunrise. Last night, I went out to see the encore of "Un Ballo in Maschara" (A NY Met Opera HiDef program), and it was raining lightly; this morning, everything had a glaze not of frost, but of ice. Doorlocks frozen, street with a "glare ice" or, in shady spots, "black ice".
About time that Winter showed up south of the Tehachapis! Hope your peppers survive; the blanket with the mechanic's trouble-light is a good idea, to keep things above freezing. In a pinch, double-walled corrugated cardboard boxes work well, too.
