That's the freshest thing I ever I saw. That's where I want to be! It is from 2012 in case someone was wondering. lol

My area was an outlier today, as it often is:

Spoiler

19.5°C/67.1°F and sunny today in Cannes. 3.6°C/38.5°F and overcast back home. Meteo France is predicting light snow there tomorrow morning. Maybe optimistic?

Yeah, the Rockies are very conveniently placed in order to make Iowa's climate the best on earth.

They are in a good position in the Midwest to get some great extremes

There was some kind of very light sleet falling when I got back from work tonight. Felt like rain, but its slow motion was reminiscent of snow.

I'd be excited to see some actual snow. That'd be the only redeeming point of this otherwise miserable climate.

Meh, I see snow every morning, several feet deep at that.


At least you weren't miserable during your whole stay:

Better combination is 35°C and 16°C dew point — clear blue skies. Go for a swim — bike back downhill, feels like a hair drier.
