Hi,
The wind's drying qualities will desiccate plants that should otherwise
thrive in a zone.
I have grapes that make it through the winter fine with a wrap of burlap,
but die to the ground without it.
I am sure you have seen evergreens that "winter wind burn". Same thing is
going on.
Since our location is very windy, some things need winter wind protection.
Tom

John,
Wind chill is a factor involving cold+wind on Human Skin.(PERIOD)
How much of a factor should wind chill be in estimating a micro-
climate zone? How did the USDA climatologists factor in wind chill
in creating hardiness zones?
