Yeah, the weather sure does seem to be changing! When we first moved to Daytona in 1973, we had winters similar to what is experienced in zone 8 and as the years came and went the weather noticeably changed and we had much shorter periods of frosts and freezes and sometimes no freezes at all. A few years ago, the growing zone there changed from zone 9a to 9b. We now live (100 miles south) in zone 10a and who knows, in the not too distant future, it may be 10b. And there are many who say global warming is a hoax.
