this link is interactive, you can click your state to see more detail:

I am by the coast of Maine which is quite different from inland but you cannot see that on the US map.

I guess the Interactive feature is new this year.

Thanks for letting me know about the dead link. i emailed Nancy Norris to see if she has an updated link for you. It's funny; she recently updated that article and already there's a dead link.

Firstly it is pleasing to see other parts of the world included.

Secondly, the UK link goes nowhere - just the old 404 error!

But it is still interesting to read, once enlarged.

The 2012 map is available here.

 

If you live outside of the U.S., this article by Nancy Norris includes links to resources for several other countries.
