Never seen anything like this. 200+ monthly records set today alone! Every pink dot means a city set its new all-time highest March temperature! That’s around 570 new monthly records in the last 4 days. Some set multiple times. By far the most rogue #heatwave the US has experienced in memory.

6. 80F just south of Minneapolis today

We just had a blizzard, 13" of snow, 50 mph winds, and -5F nighttime lows literally one week ago.

Snow melts FAST when it's 80 and sunny; I had a stream in my front yard.

We have four seasons now:

fall ... spring ... summer ... and hell.

Not all of it though, just give me 30 degrees. Since it's 49 here right now. 79 would be great.
