International Falls, MN must have heard its name mentioned: They broke a record this morning when the low temp fell to -46 F …the coldest in 100 years:

January 21: Frigid Morning Low Temperatures (Update: 4 PM)

At the same time the high today was 83 F in Miami.

There was a 129 F difference between the coldest and warmest spot in the USA today:

No single country probably beats the good ol' USA in climactic extremes and diversity.

brr.

The cold is coming east soon. I see a -34°F forecast for Saranac Lake, NY sunday night. That's the icebox of the Northeast. I camped there in late May a couple years ago and it was below freezing in the morning.

All time record low is -35 F.

When I was there in March a few years ago it dropped below zero. I guess that isn't completely unusual, but still cold for March! They have beautiful summers though. Nice place to escape the summer heat.

For some reason Saranac Lake doesn't have the coldest temperature in the Adirondacks. Old Forge, NY does. -52°F (-46.6°C), coldest ever recorded in the Northeast.

I can imagine Saranac Lake can get too cold for summer some days. On the other hand, it can get very warm and humid.

How do the kids play? Or wait for the bus? Where the 8&%# do the animals go--other than as far south as they can?

What range does China get? It has a rather strong continental climate and a large latitude range.
