Factors considered in creating New York’s new planting zones?

The USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map for New York include 30-year averages of annual minimum winter temperatures, and other geographical factors like elevation, topography, proximity to the Great Lakes and Atlantic Ocean, and urban heat island effects in New York City. The new map reflects the overall warming trend observed across the country.
