    In Westchester County 8 had December tomatoes in 2006 as well; roses too. Since the. I’ve had January and February tomatoes; from my freezer, the ones I picked green in October and froze in December after they ripened on my windowsill. I know for sure that my experience this year was shared by the rest of the world and that therefore there has been global cooling.

    Hardiness Zone 8 doesn’t touch Maryland, so there’s no way a central Maryland garden jumped from 7 to 8.

    This entire week is going to be snow, snow, snow, with highs at ZERO degrees F some days!

    This is by far now the coldest mid-January to mid-February winter I have ever seen.

      The warmest January for Washington, DC was during 1950 when the average temperature was 48.0 F. The second warmest was during 1932 (46.8). There has been no January within 4 degrees of 1950 ever since!

    The world doesn’t really NEED Polar Bears anyway, except for rugs and Coke commercials.

    I saw a plant nursery that claimed Cinnamon was in the climate zone for Fargo ND. It turned out that if you moved the plant outdoors during the summer it would not die. I think this may be the way the climate zones have been moving.
