Tropical Autumn?



My hibiscus are blooming, my oranges are ripe--now, let me get this right, it's November 26?  Not to mention that my roses, begonias, peppers, and tomatoes are going strong.  I have read that the average date of first frost in Houston is November 30.  But when I took these photos yesterday, it was almost 80 degrees. 

Today a front came through and it's expected to be in the 40s tonight, but I don't think we are going to make the average first frost date this year thanks to LaNina.  The winter is projected to be warmer and dryer than usual, so maybe it will be one of those winters when it never drops below freezing.  We'll see.
