Yes,....meaning? What I was trying to point out was that one year, or for that matter even 10 years does not change a climate-zone.
So even if you have 5 or 10 very mild winters on a row, the climate zone will not be moved,...it's very well possible that the next 5 or 10 years will give very cold winters,....you never know,....but the averages are calculated over longer times.
The Netherlands for that matter is a zone 8b at the warmest part if I'm correct, zone 9 is pure wishfull thinking aka fooling oneself with warm thoughts
