Hmm. whenever we have unusually cold (or hot) weather likely the opposite extreme is happening somewhere else in the country.
Yup, usually the case. The only time it isn't is when we have zonal West-East flow across entire U.S
But when the northern Jet Stream is up and down like this, one area will be very hot and another area will be opposite. This is called amplified pattern although its not too amplified now. Typically don't see it after April. The northern Jet should weaken and flatten out inCanada, not dip down like this.
Here's how it was for February 7-8. 70s for Maryland, 20s for Kansas
Can't imagine being in the 30s midday July. But you were just unlucky because 37F is on the extreme cold side. Doesn't happen every July. The most was 2 times in 1956.
There must been sometimes when it had a high in the low 40s but only above 40°F for a couple hours. This was a day with a high in the low 40s (before sunrise), but experienced 39°F at the summit. Not sure why I wrote 40°F in the hike description, maybe just rounding? Or I'm looking at hourly observations, and it reached slightly warmer in between hours

August, especially end of August its more common for 40s as highs for sure. Nice flashback pics. I don't remember that and I know what you experienced with going into the clouds up there. Glad I experienced that (in the ADK) even though sucks for views.

Yup, that's why I mentioned it. The only way one area isn't well above and the other opposite is with zonal flow. But there are exceptions. Mid Level flow can be from the south and bring extreme heat somewhere.
I like rain but this is too much lol. Can we get a dry pattern for once?
