It was 50 here yesterday and we were roasting.........it's all relative.

Blurt: The Seven Days Staff Blog: USDA's New Plant Hardiness Zone Confirms Vermont Is Getting Warmer
While you all feel colder..........we all have been feeling warmer..........last winter and this winter, although we did have some really cold days but not like it used to be.
It says here that our climate is becoming “temperate” like Virginia ???????????????????? And..........possibly warm up to the climate of Georgia? More peach cobbler??? No more maple syrup?
USDA’s new plant hardiness zone confirms Vermont is getting WARMER............now we just have to wait for New Hampshire to fall into the ocean. Then we will be "beachfront". We do follow the Florida weather and notice that the temps have been much colder than when we lived down there...........our kids wore shorts in the winter and never needed a coat.
It's definitely true about more RAIN than SNOW as well................It never rained in the winter like it has the past 5 years or so.........
Our weather used to be VERY VERY PREDICTABLE. Every mid January was the January "thaw". The snow would melt off but then more snowfall would arrive. Not anymore.
It rains all the time........although this year we did get some snow BUT NOT AS MUCH as the states south of us. Very very strange. Last year both Vermont and Colorado lacked SNOW.
