I think the lowest temperature ever recorded in Santa Barbara was in 1990. It was 20 degrees.
We'd be entering a nice age if that happened. I think our low in Oakland was around 25. We have had an epic cold chill for the past 10 days with frost warnings and lows in the 30s each night. We typically don't get frost warnings at all.

Microclimates- parts of the North Bay were as low as 19 during the past 10 days. Oakland is more protected from the frost and freezes from the Bay Water.
The last time we had a low of below -12°C was in February 2012, the previous one was in January 2010 and the one before in March 2005.
So about every 5 to 7 years i would say, used to be very rare during the 90s when we only had two occurences in the whole decade, but now it looks like -12°C becomes slightly more frequent.
Lows below -10°C/14°F happens almost every year though this year alone there was a -10.3°C low in January.
Lows below -15°C/5°F: Very rare last time it was officially below that mark was in January 1997 with -15.6°C.
The lowest it usually gets in winter is about -6 to -8°C (21 to 18°F) and this winter it even didn't dropped below -1.6°C/29°F yet.
Recently, we had one in Jan 2010 and another in Jan 2009. In 2012, when virtually all of central France was busy accumulating such lows, we had none due to the absence of snow cover.
Darn, we missed single digits by a whisker today morning. Its 12.4 F right now here.
