In Southeast Pennsylvania (Philly suburbs):

  • Winters are way more mild with much less snow. We were recently rezoned from 7a to 7b, which tells me the USDA believes this change isn't going to revert.
  • Summers are a lot hotter and more humid (and there are so many goddamn mosquitoes!)
  • We get really strong wind gusts now - it's not uncommon for the day's forecast to have wind at 25 mph (about 40 kph) with gusts at 45 mph (about 72 kph)
  • We get tornado alerts a few times each summer now. Those used to be super rare.
  • We get haze as the soot from the Canadian wildfires drifts in our direction
