Sandro Benitez, a worker at Golden Nursery in San Mateo, covers citrus trees in preparation for the pending cold snap heading our way. The National Weather Service is predicting overnight temperatures to dip to about 35-40 degrees with rain possible this morning. Skies will clear after today, but the cold weather is expected to linger through the weekend with temperatures warming up by Monday. Potted plants should be brought inside and other plants that are sensitive to cold should be covered.
