I don't mean which cities are the coldest or which are the hottest. I mean which cities have the biggest GAP between their summers and their winters; basically, which are the coldest AND the hottest. Are there any places in the US that routinely reach 100 degrees in the summer and below zero in the winter?
below zero? DEFINE "below zero". LOL Where I live -30F below zero is common. Further south -5F is considered extreme. Some of ya'll really crack me up, when it comes to the subject of "below zero". LOL
Below zero means when the temperature falls on the other side of the number zero; also known as negative. It's pretty difficult to figure out, so it's good you asked for clarification. You sound like you must be a pretty tough guy.
I assure you, there's a big difference between living in a region that is common for -5F vs. -30F. In case you are wondering, I live near the WI/IL border. Where I live, -5F is considered a heat wave. LOL
Kidding aside, I would say Phoenix, Anchorage and Minneapolis. Chicago weather can get bad, but its not THAT extreme. I always viewed as Chicago just being a little colder than cities like Boston and New York. If you really want cold go to Minneapolis, Montreal, Moscow, and I am sure there are plenty of more.

Funny, 'cause it RARELY gets that cold along the WI/IL border. You must live on top of a radio antenna!!

Montreal? pssssht, thats ***** ****.
Go to Harbin or Vladivostok or the South Pole.
I hear Mars gets chilly too. In a few years, maybe we'll get to find out. Who's down to go to Mars???? I'm driving.
