ice storm/zone maps

Hi Christopher--

Here's the URL for a good zone map for Canada--a very fine site for
Canadian gardeners especially--
http://icangarden.com/zone.htm
probably easier for you to judge than me to guess--zone 3 or 4 ??

www.richters.com
is an Ontario herb and seed vendor that would probably have lots of useful
info for you.

Too bad to hear about damage to the Sugar bush.  

Would love to hear how your restaurant venture works out--I know folks who
tried similar in Alaska...
regards,
Havi
