Actually I disagree if we are talking extreme heat vs extreme cold. I think majority of people would rather have neither but would take extreme cold over extreme heat. 

And lol we get way lower than 40s for months. They could never even have a michigan Fall day let alone winter day. But these past few days are right on par with many Florida summer days. Thank goodness it was only 3-4 days.

Until Saturday. Looks like we’re headed back to the hills with high heat indices for the weekend into the beginning of next week.

Find me a single place that was actually 20 to 30 degrees below normal in the U.S. and then I'll believe that nonsense. What a joke.

hit 93° imby before our 3rd Severe T-Storm Warning of the year, after which we dropped to 74°

 

currently 79/72, and suddenly we've got fireflies, you would not believe your eyes

If I’m reading that map correctly, it looks like those are temp departures at 21Z Jun 22nd. What don’t you believe about that map? I looked up Cut Bank, Montana for example and they were in the mid 40s at 21Z Sunday and their normal temps are in the low 70s. So that looks pretty accurate to me.

Departures from normal aren't calculated from a single point in time. The map has a bunch of places "below normal" that were being cooled off from thundershowers in the south, for instance. That's a meaningless statistic. Funny how all the areas shown as 30 below normal had actual daily departures a small fraction of that, while the areas shown as 15-20 degrees above normal literally were 15-20 degrees above normal. But carry on.

I shared a post that a meteorologist posted and tcc loses his shit. Yet he freely posts things all the time from other sources without checking. Its nice to know that from here on tcc will only be concerned about daily temp departures. No more notes about 1am temps or what not!

Ok so per that map, 21Z temps were -2.0° below avg in the U.S.

I think the overall point of posting that map was to show that despite being hot in the Midwest and northeast, the country had a lot of well below normal temperatures in the western half on Sunday. There was some impressive chill out there even if the daily departures weren’t -30.
