It was 70 last week. And then it dropped overnight to 35. My buddy says "so much for global warming huh?" like it wasn't just 70 fucking degrees out for a week in the middle of winter.

Yeah, I was working on getting the AC units working again and my twin was just "Don't worry, it's going to snow tomorrow" (well, a few days ago now) and I just was like. Hell. It's hell.
Feb the recorded temp at my house was -13F (-25C ish). March 8th was 77F (HotC). Kind of wild.
77F is 25C. That is quite the temperature swing: even bigger than the warmest day in a year vs the coldest day in a year in many places...
Yeah, it's going to be 80 near me. Last year it was snowing in March here.
I keep telling myself out of habit "oh spring isn't here for the year. We haven't had the Easter snow yet"
I don't think that's gonna happen this year. And maybe it won't ever happen again...
We barely had a winter here in NM. And, it looks like we're about to skip Spring, 90F is forecast for next week. We don't usually see that until May.
What's going on in Utah? Record hot with a mystery chunk of below average just chillin
Looks like the Salt Lake, other bodies of water like Lake Okeechobee in Florida or the Salton Sea are the same color.
Part of me feels dumb as fuck but I'm going to blame this one on the map makers' color choices
