Hi Ann,

Try the following link:

The original link had an extra ";" on the end, Ooops ;-)

Thank you! It worked. Interesting, it says I'm in 7..... it was far
too cold here in January for me to even consider being in 7!!! The
winters here are so variable, last year we had no snow and fairly mild
temps, a couple years ago I thought I'd moved to Seattle, but that was
after the snowiest winter ever the year before. This particular part
of the country is hard to pin, I think.

I agree! I think we have to take those charts with a grain of
salt. I was seeing temps of -15 here many days this winter.
Obviously, I need to get things that can withstand such temps--and
I like to allow room for even further weather vagaries.
