I didn't need the map to know that our winters are getting milder
(though punctuated by serious cold spells) and frost season is ending
earlier. We've also had drought conditions of varying seriousness for
several years. This hasn't been really detrimental where I live
because the ground holds the water, and last winter and this spring we
had normal rainfall. Still, peppers and tomatoes have needed watering.
