I live on a hill about 1-1/2 miles above Meadville, PA. I was always under the impression that my Zone was 5B but just checked out Meadville, PA zip 16335 in Zone Lookup and find that it is listed as 5A. The average temperature difference between the city of Meadville and my hilltop is about 5 degrees F (lower on top of hill.) In winter it could be peaceful and calm downtown while on top of our hill we're having a blizzard. Also it gets very, very windy on the top of the hill where I live.
Please clarify the difference between Zone 5A and Zone 5B and your thoughts about whether my home might be 5A or 5B. Thanks.
