While (imo) long overdue, the updated USDA Hardiness Zone map is just average lowest temperature. It's good to have that as a data point, but I think it's better utilized when cross referenced with something like the Köppen classification system - my preferred version of this is the Trewartha classification system.
Thank you! I've advocated the koppen climate classifications for years into a void, but I'd never heard of trewartha!
