Hi Charlene, there are some really hardy agaves that will live through snow, I think they can withstand really cold temps as long as they are not frozen for several hours. Take a peek at the plant delights catalog to get an idea of how low temps they can take. I have some hardy Opuntias and agaves. Sharkskin agave doesn't blink an eye in cold weather and agave parryii truncata is a good looking one too.

Here are some of mine, the ones in rather long green planter are four year old pups of octopus agave..the mom is about 14 inches across and 10 inches tall in her own pot.
