*** Updated 2007-03-01 ***
Month Min Date ........... #0 .. #S . #HS . Max Date
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10 .. -1.6 2006-10-31 .. 01 ... 15 .. 09 ..............................
11 .. -5.3 2006-11-03 .. 06 ... 09 .. 10 .. 20.3 2006-11-14

Legend:
#0 number of days with min temp below 0C
#S number of sunny days
#HS number of half-sunny days (or half cloudy if you prefer Wink

)

That belongs to hardiness zone 9a !!!!!
No wonder why my inground fig show activity!

Precipitation is below average, appears ideal to me.
All snow I got was about 2 cm for a couple of days, my 3.5 years old daughter asked me recently "does snow falls on Christmas only?" Poor girl Shocked

BTW:
2007 IPCC report http://www.ipcc.ch/SPM2feb07.pdf
Should I plant olives here? Wink

Our winter in NY has been all over the thermometer. In January we had 70F weather and now it is well below freezing. My plants were putting out new shoots and now they are frozen over...

Chops, our trees are keeping with prolonged warm weather amasingly well ... maybe occasional frost is what keeps them dormant ...
