Man, this is a big country.

Current temp. in Grand Forks, ND: -31°F (feels like -57°).

And in Miami, FL it's 63°F (feels like 63°).

A full 94° difference in the contiguous 48 states. Wow.

And it's not the elevation — true, Miami is only 8 feet above sea level, but Grand Forks is 844 feet, about one-sixth of a mile high.

My relatives just came from Puerto Rico, a self-governing commonwealth of the US, where it was 85°F. On their flight back to Seattle, they stopped in Chicago, where it was 5°F, a full 80° difference. Crazy.

Lattitude... And proximity to a large body of water.

No more comments! Either someone has violated Godwin's Law, I'm tired of the discussion or, most likely, the ten-week window has closed. You can, however, contact me through email.
