see that's the weird thing Lisann with that guide. In NJ I moved a few years ago from zone 6 to zone 7a/6b - cause of hotter summers, but the winters are colder.

Yes, that's true, but it's still a good way for us to compare our areas to each other's areas.
It's a tool, nothing more.

Yes, like I often compare with James...He is in Utah, zone 5, yet he has already planted some things. I am in Upstate NY and I am zone 5...my ground is still frozen. The mud season is still to come. So this interests me. My season doesn't start for about 3-4 weeks.

Yes, it is a tool only. It gives a broad definition to give us an idea of what weather can be like We always have to take into account what is currently going on in our areas.
James zone 5 had a very mild and dry winter. Pea's zone 5 had a brutal and wet winter.
