We arrived in Yuma thinking we could get away from a lingering cold snap in the area. Yet, when we arrived here a freeze warning remained in effect for several days. Yuma is in the far southwest corner of Arizona, sharing its border with Mexico and California. And get this: according to Guinness World Records,…
