You gotta love Minnesota. One year ago today the temp officially hit 80
degrees at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. However, here in the
scenic St. Croix River Valley we are lower and thus trap warmer air so our
thermometer reached 83 degrees.
Fast forward 365 days. This morning’s number, five degrees. But we’re not complaining. We will take the cold over the oppressive
heat any day.
Did you know heat kills more
people than cold. Read on:
“Actually, extreme heat is more deadly, since it kills
more people on average every year than hurricanes, tornadoes, flash floods, and
lightning combined.
When the temperature outside is 100F or higher and the humidity approaches 40%,
the heat index soars from anywhere between 110F and 120F. Heat poses a
significantly greater hazardous threat than the cold . . .”
Whatever the temp in your
little cornerof the world,
enjoy your holiday!
