I knew it! LOL. I am in zone 8b, officially. I have said for years that my "mircoclimate" differs a bit from 8b... sometimes a rather large bit. I found this wonderful website http://www.plantmaps.com. Plug in your zipcode and see if your "ecoregion" matches your hardiness zone. Mine turned out to be 7b which is right on the money.
