    It was 70 last week. And then it dropped overnight to 35. My buddy says “so much for global warming huh?” like it wasn’t just 70 fucking degrees out for a week in the middle of winter.

      Yeah, I was working on getting the AC units working again and my twin was just “Don’t worry, it’s going to snow tomorrow” (well, a few days ago now) and I just was like. Hell. It’s hell.

      Feb the recorded temp at my house was -13F (-25C ish). March 8th was 77F (HotC). Kind of wild.

        77F is 25C. That is quite the temperature swing: even bigger than the warmest day in a year vs the coldest day in a year in many places…
