Anyone else notice the USDA Growing zones have shifted a bunch too?
Some guy in Ohio noted that his area used to be 4b and is now 7b which is warm enough to grow limes. In the West Coast the change has been a creation of shitloads of microclimates all over the damn place.
I live in Saskatchewan, it was 67 degrees today. I’ve not worn a jacket the last few years unless i leave this town and head north, or also south, Montana is 30 miles away but the elevation is generally 3000 feet higher.

The USDA actually updated their zone map the other day to account for this. Some regions saw significant changes.
