I've always thought the northern midwest got the worst weather year round. In the winter it's not unusual to get down to -20F or so, and in the summer it usually sits in the 90's and over a hundred is not particularly odd. So, bitter cold, and the heat is nothing to scoff at either.

I'm reminded of this because I'm home visiting the folks, and it hit -30F at the end of last week. Just as well I didn't bring a bike.
