People from northern states who act like once in a lifetime temperatures are common. "Here in Minnesota, North Dakota, Wisconsin, etc it's -55 F all winter" when in reality that temp has never occurred where they live and even wind chills that cold happen like once every 25 years. Whiny morons who feel the need to blow things out of proportion to vindicate their bitching and moaning. I’ll add to that the people who purposefully mistake windchills and heat indices as actual temperatures in order to make the temperatures seem more extreme than they are and sensenationalize. Even just putting up a weather map showing windchills or heat indices is horribly misleading. Focus on actual temperatures. |

Also annoying when people here say stuff like "we get 9 months of winter" just because it gets chilly/cold at times in May and September. Sorry, a 50 F cloudy day in May is not "winter". It would be record warmth during actual winter. And a freeze in September doesn't qualify as "winter" either. |

Benfxmth But 110F is a common summer temp in Phoenix. -55F is extremely rare in Minnesota

Literally every month has the potential to record cold temperatures at my location - but that doesn't mean we have "12 months of winter". I once read a "climate atlas of the United States" circa middle school in which Milwaukee was described as having winter from "late October through May" - uh what now? Pretty sure an average May day in Milwaukee would be record-breaking warmth in most of winter... I'll be that annoying pedant. All temperate locations have winter, spring, summer, and autumn of approximately equal length. By March, the days are significantly longer than in January, and for the most part where I'm from, an average March day is going to be considerably warmer than an average January day. It's a stretch even to say March is entirely a winter month when most days are getting above freezing and the snowpack is generally shrinking. Just like it's not "winter" in September when we have that first night with a low of 40 F. It's cold, and distinctly cooler than summer (which does exist around here and is quite nice while it lasts) - but a low of 40 F would be considered insanely mild if it were to occur in January or February. |

Places like NYC, Milan, or Seoul have very transient winter snow cover, but they obviously still have winters. All temperate and even subtropical climates have winters, for only tropical climates are defined by a lack of winter and temperature-based seasons altogether. Also, all seasons in the temperate and subtropical zones are equal in length, as each are 3 months, using the meteorological seasons of course. |

That's just the number of days between first and last snowfall. A rare snowfall in May and September doesn't make it "winter" either. |

tommyFL lol that's a dumb map. A place could get an early season cold snap with snow and an ice day, and then have a warm up to temps in the 70s and 80s and it'd still be considered "winter" by this criteria.

Was it AJ who brought out the fake snow machine? He is a Dolphins fan, it’d make sense for him to be at the game. |

Saw this footage of a severe hailstorm crossposted to several country subreddits 2 weeks after being posted to r/WeatherGifs

Ideally, weather should always be comfortable to be outside in without heavy winter clothing. That means shorts and tshirts (or better yet swimsuits in summer). Angler's take about less clothing being gay is just also plain wrong. Hotter weather = girls wearing less clothing = hotter girls. There's a reason why girls from Brazil and Spain are hotter than girls from Minnesota and Russia. Fixed. |

A classic from an AU FB page re the former ( and discredited and expunged from the record books ) AU highest temp at Cloncurry 134 years ago today. And naturally its brought out all the AGW numpties, the, 'pffft, it gets to 50c every summer at Walgett or Woop Woop, WA....' Haha, used to chime in once upon a time, but couldn't be bothered nowadays, it wears you down....lol !    ^^Have a look at this towering intellect^^....wonders why Mt Isa one wasn't in the newspapers at the time.... because the box store thermometer hanging on the fence doesn't actually count ya goose !    ^^FFS ( rolls eyes )^^  ^^So I looked up the data at the nearest town^^ ( Walgett, NSW )to Burren Junction in Dec 2004...42.7c on the 1st.... long way from 53c ( just sayin'... )  ^^This is the best one....54c most years ( yep, most years !! ) at Barradale Roadhouse . To be fair, the former Nanutarra Roadhouse ( now Barradale ) is located near Onslow, Mardie and Emu Creek Station, in the most extreme heat prone region of the Pilbara. Max temps can and do approach 48c-50c most summers....but 54c every year ? Its 54c on my driveway every day if I put the K-Mart thermometer on it... |

Strewth desiccatedi85 , the official weather station for a large city SHOULD be in the UHI, to accurately represent the climate of the CITY (as experienced by city residents) as opposed to the surrounding rural area. Denver airport is an egregious violation of this principle. It’s located in city limits but very far from everything with nothing around it out on the plains, hardly representative of Denver’s urban core. That's why Stapleton Airport was a better station, only like 3 miles from Downtown Denver in the urban core |
