It's a little disingenuous to compare winter in North Dakota to Miami in this manner, and to include the windchill. I don't know the average temperature in Miami in January, but I do know that this is not "strange" for North Dakota in January.

Thought the same. It's disappointing to see click bait from the AP but I guess that's the new way of doing business when nobody wants to pay for news

It was only 71 today just north of Miami. We have at least a couple weeks before 96°.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
