We Sussex Countians are fortunate in many ways as we have a wonderful quality of life here.
Climate:
Our climate for one thing is the best in the region. The United States Department of Agriculture has a map that shows the temperature zones for plants (and people). This map shows Delaware in the same climate band as mid-Texas, northern Georgia, and the Carolinas. Delaware is by far the northern most place for this climate. Southern Delaware, although not delineated on this map is shown as one zone more southerly in the more detailed maps you get for planting flowers and vegetables as shown in gardening texts. Sussex County Delaware has a winter climate and temperature that equals the Carolinas, Georgia and northern Florida. It has a summer climate and temperature that is more like New York and Massachusetts. The reason for this is the tempering effects of the large bodies of water that surround Sussex County have more local effect on keeping us cool in Summer and Warm in winter than the land does. The closer you get to the water the more this is true.
The Eastern Sussex area is almost identical to Boston temperatures in the summer and Tampa temperatures in the winter.
Driving and Commuting Distance:
In Sussex County we feel we are far enough from everything and close enough to all that’s important. While we enjoy and idyllic rural and resort lifestyle here, we are a couple of hours to the cities. Read the rest of this extensive article here: Quality of Life in Sussex County Delaware
