New USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map 2023

[roadrunner]

The USDA just came out with a new Hardiness zone map and it's more interactive than the previous ones. I noticed they downgraded (or upgraded) me from zone 9a to 9b.

Not that I really care, because last year, around Christmas, we got a cold spell that was at least what you'd expect in zone 8, but what the hell here's a link below.

P.S. Maybe I'll get around to changing my Hardiness Zone under my personal info...one day....

Very interesting. My zone went from mid 8 to 9a... a big jump it seems. Won't change anything I grow but interesting.
