No, I don't think winter petunias would make it where I live. Nasturium
is another cool-weather (our version of cool weather anyway) but I'm
sure it freezes. I'm trying to think of what I see around town because I
don't grow many annuals. And my neighborhood is more rural so you don't
see a lot of landscaping like you would in a tract home area. 
I always liked Iceland poppies, they are very common in the winter in
the more mild climate I grew up in. Wonder if they would stand up to
frost? I tried them once out here but the wind beat them to death within
a couple days so I gave up.

Thanks. I gave them the answer of pansies, snapdragons, dianthus and
maybe 
calendula, candytuft and stock. That's part of a list I found for Las
Vegas, 
which is in the same sunset zone. That list included petunias, but that 
seems odd to me, since it goes below freezing.
