Does everyone know their zone? (2018 changes)

[The Hot Pepper]

My zone was 6b.
It is now 7b.
 
They changed the zoning in 2018 (warming trends) and I only found out last year. So PSA, check yours! Was just wondering how many out there may not know.

Yeah, I've moved from 2b to 3a, so does this mean I can do tropical stuff now? lol

Zone 7 B here.... Who needs a Paris climate agreement.

 

[Walchit]

6a here.

 

[Ruid]

Another 7b here.

Zip code says 8b, but experience tells me more
like 9a (20-25) or even 9b (25-30) last several years.

I have a mock orange shrub that kept it's leaves till Dec/Jan and even popped out 2 white flowers thinking it was spring. I've had it 10 years and it usually just lost it's leaves when the trees did. I also have some semi-evergreen stuff that acts evergreen. Can't complain about the yard, just the planet.

My zone never changes

I'm zone 3, regardless how they gerrymander those imaginary lines. I have a reasonable "last frost" date of +/- June first. I have the same but for "first frost of +/- September 1st. It has frosted here after June one and before Sept. one, it has also turned to intense summer-like spring in late March/early April and we've had gorgeous warm late summers that have pushed into November. Though rare, they have occurred.
 
Regardless, I have a reasonable expectation of a 3 month growing season. 
 
I'm zone 3. This is the voice of experience you hear, not a bored bean counter at USDA....

You are about to enter another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound, but of mind. A journey into a wondrous land of imagination. Next stop, the Twilight Zone!

There should be a Twilight Zone episode about how it's impossible to do a good remake of the series. It's as if the ghost of Rod Serling won't allow it.
