Pass the Sunscreen Frosty
Long Islanders are enjoying an especially balmy winter. Brookhaven Lab out of Upton, New York is reporting the warmest winter on record. The latest trend has been up sine 1967, with warmer than average weather for the last decade.The National Arbor Day Foundation has just updated their hardiness zone maps as a result of warming. They've moved zone 7 all the way from North Carolina to Washington DC. The warmer weather has allowed people to plant crepe myrtles in the previously frigid area.
