Easy way to understand humidity. When you get out of the shower and the air in your bathroom is real heavy and damp and it feels harder to breathe, that's humidity. Now add in a bunch of heat and it's sticky and miserable to be in. Dry heat is like being in your car with the heater on full blast.
the higher the humidity the wetter you get you'll sweat more in a high humidity area than a dry area. where you live has a high humidity. if it's cold and the humidity is high it'll feel colder than it really is.
That "snowstorm emergency" was for price gouging, fearmongering and government overreach, softening of the public's mind and constitution. There is nothing scary about a few snowflakes in the air.
Having been raised in the South but being stationed in Tucson along with deploying overseas, the only thing dry-heat means is that the shade is marginally cooler than in the sun due to the lack of humidity.
I've been to both Florida and New Mexico. Florida is way worse at the same temperatures. The humidity is suffocating. You're constantly damp. I'll take dry heat any day as long as I have water and shade.
That's a weather condition we've very familiar with in the Midwest; we call it "slain", because it's about halfway between slush and rain. Alternately, you can just call it "precipitation", which is vague enough to cover just about any random nonsense that falls from the sky.
humidity represents the amount of water vapor in the air. Basically in high humidity areas you always feel damp and never dry off. When you add heat you get swamp ass.
Humidity science time! lol When the air reaches 100% humidity, it means the air is fully saturated with water vapor at its current temperature and can't hold any more moisture. If more water is added or the temperature drops, the excess vapor will condense as dew, fog, or rain. This also affects your body because sweat cools you down by evaporating into the air. However, at 100% humidity, the air is already full, so your sweat can't evaporate effectively. Instead of cooling you down, the sweat stays on your skin, making you feel sticky and overheated. On top of that, since your body is usually cooler than the surrounding air, water vapor can condense on your skin or clothes, adding to the discomfort. This combination of ineffective sweat evaporation and potential condensation makes high humidity feel oppressive and stifling. High humidity suck!!! But so does really dry air lol
@@JoeVanGogh wow man, thanks for that! This is probably the first explanation that actually made sense. Thanks for taking the time to answer in a way that those of us without meteorologist credentials could understand.
Where I live it often reaches 113°F in the summer. It never snows here. Yet just 70 miles away (about a one hour drive, if clear) is Donner Pass, which averages 10 meters (30+ feet) of snow each winter. All in my beloved California.
Here in the Midwest, your snow storm would practically be cookout weather. Not exactly picnic weather, of course. But grilling some steaks out on the patio. Sure, why the hell not?
I have a friend who holds an Annual Blizzard BBQ. Bring the beverage of your choice, any musical instruments you can play (and transport), and a sleeping bag, since until the roads are plowed no one is getting home. Though temperature control of the BBQ in a blizzard is definitely a challenge.
if you are in the Sonora desert, where Yuma and Phoenix are, and get stuck outside there are cactus you can consume for moisture. find shade, stay out of the mid day heat, travel at night.
I once had to walk 11 miles in 109 degree weather with no water after working a whole day of construction at a housing project and Golf Course called Dove Mountain at the base of the Tortolita Mountains out side of Tucson Arizona. My ride was supposed to pick me up but never showed up and the whole entire area was still undeveloped and smartphones did not exist and i was on my own and it was something I thought I would never survive, I was preparing myself for death in the desert. The only reason why I lived was just out of the sheer will to survive and there was prickly pear fruit on all the prickly pear cactus. As I was walking through the hot sandy wash I was just telling myself to put one foot in front of the other and just kept telling myself to do that over and over again and as the minutes turned into hours I started seeing a black dot in my vision and started having an uncontrollable desire to laugh well telling myself to put one foot in front of the other trying not to lose my pace following this black dot in the sky. I finally made it to help the ambulance couldn't put an IV in my arm because I was too dehydrated then all of a sudden I noticed my mom showed up not remembering that I called her then refusing medical help because I didn't have health insurance I was severely sunburned and all my hair fell out and it took me about a month to recover from it, but what do you expect I'm Gen X we fix everything with duct tape or walk it off lol.
I live near there. I'd highly recommend a camelback next time! 🤣 Also you can legally not be denied water at restaurants and gas stations so when I hike I usually go along the river wash and stop off at gas stations to get a refill.
I was in Arizona once during a "humidity emergency". I live in Houston, where the humidity is usually in the mid to high 70%. Arizona was expecting 30% and the local news was going crazy warning people about the dangers.
While visiting Portland, OR, it was going to be having a real “heatwave” for May: it was going to be in the low 80s. The way the local meteorologists were warning about the potential dangers…Mom and I just laughed in Arkansan.
I’m in Houston too and in summer it feels like being wrapped in a damp sponge with a giant blow dryer aimed at you. Unless the air is completely still and then you just feel like you’re suffocating. But you do tend to get less wrinkles than dry climates!
I lived in Houghton Michigan for 2 years. My father was in the Air Force and we were stationed at KI Sawyer Air Force Base which is in the Upper peninsula Michigan about 2 hours south of Houghton. So I think I lived in the Upper peninsula for about 7 years total. The art pieces you were looking at were actually part of Michigan technological university annual ice sculpture contest. The whole university and the whole town will create these amazing pieces of art out of snow and ice. Once there was a mansion and it had like 18 rooms and it was just amazing with all the furniture and everything. It is something definitely to be seen. When I was in the high school we would go sledding out of our second floor bedroom windows because the snow drifts were so high. I remember the only time they shut down the base was when the wind chill was -65° F (-53 C). Nobody was allowed out of their house that day except an emergency
I have family that lives in Baraga which is nearby. By the way that AFB was shut down in 1995. Toni's Country Kitchen near Calumet makes the best pasties
I was ice fishing on lake of the woods in northern Minnesota. Early January, the high was -21 , we hit lows of -40 to -50 almost every year. That doesn't include wind chill.
he saguaro is a columnar cactus that grows notable branches, usually referred to as arms. Over 50 arms may grow on one plant, with one specimen having 78 arms. Saguaros grow from 3-16 m (10-52 ft) tall, and up to 75 cm (30 in) in diameter. They are slow growing, and routinely live 150 to 200 years. They are the largest cactus in the United States. 0.5 feet (0.15 m) 9 yrs 1.0 foot (0.30 m) 13 yrs 5.0 feet (1.5 m) 27 yrs 10.0 feet (3.0 m) 41 yrs 20.0 feet (6.1 m) 83 yrs 25.0 feet (7.6 m) 107 yrs 30.0 feet (9.1 m) 131 yrs 35.0 feet (10.7 m) 157 yrs
Moved from Hawaii to Washington State (where Seattle is) and I absolutely love it here! We have the perfect amount of all seasons. Not so cold rainy or snowy (depending what side of the State you're in) winters, sunshine and rain in the fall and spring, and (usually) not so hot summers. You can't be the Evergreen State without rain.
Here in Houston, Texas it is a beautiful, sunny day. The temp is 59° and lovely. That the nice thing about Texas. The winters are generally pretty nice.
Lived in Houston 12 years. First start of the 6 months of rain, STAY OFF THE ROADS? lol. oil comes to the surface, and it's like ice up north. Miss the heat and pretty girls!
Your "snow storm" was cute! That's the only kind of snow I like. It's pretty when it's falling but then it melts when it hits the ground so you can still drive around.
I live about an hour away from Houghton in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. It's like living in a snow globe. One year we even got a few snow flurries on the 4th of July. 😂
Yes, Winnipeg, Manitoba is in Canada. It was being used as a reference point. Yes, building snow/ice sculptures and STRUCTURES is a thing. Adam, should you choose to move to America, you really want to research the types of weather/climate of the areas you're thinking about moving to first. If you choose a snowier climate, learn to ski or cross-country ski and layer your clothing. I live in Springfield, Missouri (I'm originally from Grand Rapids, Michigan) where we don't really get a lot of snow. This last weekend we actually had, well I wouldn't call it a snowstorm, but we got about 6 inches of snow in a 24 hour period. That's a lot of snow for this area and yes, the supermarkets got swarmed with people stocking up.
Phoenix Arizona has similar temperature as Yuma. With nearly 5 million people in the metro area. I lived an entire year without A/C in Phoenix. It's certainly not something I'd want to do again, but it is survivable. The highest temperature I saw while living there was 124F (51.11C), although not official, because it was slightly cooler at the airport. It feels like a heater being held against your face & body. The dry & hot wind doesn't help.
2 Years in Miami no AC. Apartment had no tree cover either. University. NO idea how you made it that long in Phoenix. Grandma's. 2 miles out in the desert after Phoenix and no further North for sure. My max stays were a few weeks. Did I mention she managed to give herself heat exhaustion a couple years after my last stay? Requiring medical intervention? She complained they should have just poured water on her. Stubborn woman. Made 95 but would have made well over 100 if she just were a little less stubborn. Man it was HOT!
Out west we have dry heat (low humidity), so your sweat helps you to cool off. Last time I was in Savannah (Georgia) it was only 98°F, but it was 98% humidity. It’s like being sucker-punched every time you go outside.
Welcome to my home state of Michigan, where you can make igloos in the winter lol. Just be careful if you come across the Mighty Mac, because you might have tons of snow one minute and then there's a weather change the next lol.
5:00 Humidity percentages: for any given temperature, There’s a limit to how much moisture the air can hold, and warmer air can hold more moisture than colder air. The percentage is simply how much moisture is in the air vs how much it could hold at that temperature. When it reaches 100%, that’s all it can hold. If the air tries to cool down further, the moisture comes out of the air and becomes fog. Deserts will typically see humidity levels of 8% - 10%. I live in New Orleans, and there are many days throughout the year where the humidity reaches 100% in the evening, and that’s as much as the air will cool down. Typical august weather is hi 95F/35C and a low of 77F/25C.
What does humidity mean? Well, in New Orleans in the summer, you wake up early in the morning to go to work, open your door to leave, and wonder why you bothered to put clothes on. You feel like you are wearing the air.
I might survive in the desert. In some deserts at night it can be quite cold. Extreme north of Alaska gets constant night in winter & constant daytime in summer, Adam. Your snow storms looks like most of what we get here in North Texas in the winter. We do get blizzards but rarely.
I lived in Tucson, AZ and took a wilderness survival class. The weather is similar. It’s a lot of work, but you can survive. Cacti have water stored in them, you can also eat them, and weave fibers into hats for sun protection. There are also things like roadrunners and rabbits that you could catch and eat as well as snakes and scorpions. Not ideal, but you could. You should check out the giant sandstorms (aka haboobs) that roll through southern AZ. There are many videos documenting them passing over Phoenix.
To answer some of your questions: 1. Desert heat is a dry heat, but when that hot sun goes down, deserts can actually get quite cold, even close to freezing. 2. 100% humidity is usually when it's raining. However, high humidity is a sweaty hell. You are always wet with sweat. This is quite the opposite of the desert. You can have heat stroke in the desert without sweating a single drop because it just dries up on your skin before it gets out of your pores. In humidity, you cannot get dry. Both tend to be miserable, but if you are low on water, your better bet for survival is humidity. 3. To be fair, North Dakota kinda sucks in general. 4. I honestly don't know why anyone lives in Barrow/Uta-whatever, AK 5. When I lived in New England I struggled with Seasonal Affective Disorder (weather related depression brought on by lack of sunshine). I grew up in Tornado Alley, where the sun shines most days summer and winter. MUCH better. Your snow storm is sooooo cute.
Yeah our snowbelt is definitely no joke! I am from Toledo, Ohio on the western end of Lake Erie where all that blasted snow you get comes from! I drove through on the New York turnpike in the winter, your state is the absolute best at keeping the highway dry. It's like you have a giant hairdryer attached to a truck.
From Michigan here, but in the lower peninsula. The fun thing about Michigan and states near the Great Lakes, is that we have weather patterns that are affected by the lakes. We can easily have 20-30 degree swings from only a couple of days from each other, sometimes in the same day. We also get the the Jet Stream that will change where our weather is coming from depending on where it is. One of the good things is we don't have major disasters like other areas of the US. Our hardest weather is usually the lake effect snow and very high winds from time to time (60-90+ mph). The Northern Peninsula can have over hundreds of inches of snow throughout the whole winter and it stays cold enough that it doesn't get to melt. That man standing next to the snow, could just be a months worth :) They have specially designed trucks for snow removal because of the height the snow can get.
19:19 Any time we get the mildest snow in Chicago people storm the grocery stores to stock up like we've never seen snow before. 🙄 They are probably referring to something like that.
Your snowstorm reminds me of the 'thunderstorm' my sister and I experienced our first year after moving from the Midwest (home of tornados) to California (home of...well, not thunderstorms!). There were three cracks of thunder, only one of which had lightning that we could see, and I think I ended up with maybe three dozen drops of rain on my windshield...not enough to bother turning the wipers on. And the locals were going NUTS...OMG I DID NOT BRING MY UMBRELLA!!! We laughed and laughed and laughed. We do get snow where I live, maybe once every 10 years or so it will snow like your "snowstorm" with much the same results. Our extreme weather is the heat in summer. Not near as bad as Yuma, but having lived where it is moist in the summers, I can tell you that having 'dry' heat does make a difference! I can tolerate 90F in summer here much better than I could back in Indiana. (also, pro tip, having a pool makes all the heat better!)
I live in Ottawa Ontario Canada... Here the record high is just above 37c and record low is -39c. It's pretty typical to have summer temps going over 35 c for a day or two and it's pretty normal as well for temperatures to drop under -20 for a week or two in winter. Humidity sucks too... Winter or summer Humidity really isn't great. A dry cold you can go outside in Boxers... for a few minutes but in a Humid cold you can feel it with a thick winter coat. But... Winter is a fun time of year because we have the largest skating rink in the world on the Rideau Canal and the summers are Elite for people who love the great outdoors. I have been out on Trails for hours on a ATV and not seen a soul in the bush. I lived in Winnipeg and it's cold but it's a dry cold. It's dangerous because you don't feel the cold as much so once you feel it your skin is frozen. In Ottawa when it's cold it pinches your skin almost right away.
Grand forks, ND here. You might get hardly any snow in a winter. Then there are pictures where it snowed so much it was as tall as the houses. You just never know what you might get. 😂
I am from Seattle. But where I line now in North Carolina, we just had our news outlets freaking out for 2 weeks for a big winter storm. It ended up looking exactly like your snow did.
In Utqiagvik Alaska, the sun rises on May 10th and does not set until August 2nd, so it is daylight for 84 days. During the winter, it sets on November 18 and won't rise again until January 22nd, so it is dark for 65 days. On November 18th, "daylight" was just 30 minutes.
Great video I live in central Minnesota and look forward to the change of seasons a nice mix of summer and winter is the way we survive it is either too hot or too cold but a mix is nice have a great day be safe.
Lived in the Houghton, Michigan area for awhile. Several winters where single story houses wouldn't be visable from the road other then parts of the tops of the roofs. Having 3-6ft of standing snow is common but it will eventually compress down. Normally 2-3ft of standing snow in your yard is common.
I live in Tucson AZ, Average is 100 Degrees in the summer. Usually much Higher tho.(Those Saguaros are not in Yuma btw, Tucson has Saguaros pretty much nailed down lol)
Hello from Washington State! I love that last bit with the UK snow storm 😆. What's funny is that Seattle is said to be the most UK-like place in the USA, but even we get much more snow than that 😂.
I have seen it, here, in south-central Kansas reach 120+. I have seen 100+ degree days for 2 months straight. And at the same time I have seen it go to -20 with -40 wind chill, just since I have been here, welcome to the middle of the US.
It's too cold to snow in Grand Forks a lot of the time. I lived about 60 miles east. When there is a blizzard, it picks up most of the snow from the Red River Valley as well as some of the snow mixes with the topsoil. Then it gets to where I lived, the North Woods and the trees makes the snow/topsoil mix falls on us...and it's black. We call it snirt. Your snow storm is hilarious. The government doesn't set food prices. That's the stores doing it. I suppose if folks don't know how to drive on snow, there can be accidents with very little snow. When I first moved to Oregon, the school closed for a snow day. I got a call from a phone tree, looked outside and thought it was a prank and went to the shcool anyway. It was closed. But I saw people get stuck in 1 inch. I decided to go sightseeing as I had just moved to Oregon, but decided to head for home when cars started sliding down the hill on the highway because they didn't drive fast enough to overcome gravity and the slipperiness of the snow.
Houghton Michigan is in the Upper Peninsula of the state I live in. I work in Mackinaw City, Michigan. Its a pretty little town just below the mackinaw bridge, which joins the lower and upper Peninsula of our state. Try searching "blue ice in Mackinaw City Under the Mackinaw bridge." It's beautiful!!!
1:13 A/C Before a/c only the hardiest ranchers and cowboy types lived in the desert. Like grandpa! There were "swamp coolers", basically a mat that has water running down it and a fan sucks air through it. Makes it slightly cool and humid. Wet sheets in open windows was a strategy. Stay hydrated, especially on beer. Ceiling fans. Trees if possible. Get up early and get stuff done before noon, then have a siesta in the hottest part of the day. Finish work 4-6. Eat spicy food, it cools you off.
I live in the south where it is insanely hot and humid during the summer. When they say humidity, it feels exactly like you're in a sauna as soon as you walk outside you instantly start sweating and it is suffocating. Just get into a sauna and get it around 95 degrees F and you will see exactly what it's like. It is a different type of hot, a much more miserable kind of hot. It may be 95 degrees outside, but with a high humidity level it would feel like 110 degrees easily. You would be sweating 10x as much. The reason for the high humidity is all the moisture coming up from the Gulf of Mexico its feels exactly like it would at the equator.
I live in the desert, same state as Yuma. You survive by staying inside where it's cool, or at least staying in the shade. Drinking LOTS water is super important. If you're stuck out in the desert, there's actually a lot of vegetation (much of it prickly), and there are water/food sources if you know where to look. Yuma is a bustling community of about 100,000 people on the Arizona/California border, we were there in Sept to meet a friend for lunch! Yes, it was miserably hot, but even outside sitting in the shade under misters it was comfortable - the advantage of dry heat. Fun Fact: Just west of Yuma is the Imperial valley, a strip of sand dunes... it's where many of the Tatooine scenes were filmed for Star Wars. Those tall cactus are the mighty Saguaro's, abundant where I live in Southern Arizona. They can grow up to 70 feet tall and live to as much as 200 years old.
I'm in Spokane WA And we get average 36" of snow, record is 17" in one 24 hr period. And at least once per winter it gets below 0⁰ F. Our winters are much worse than Seattle.
I grew up in Minnesota and moved down to the desert. I’ll take the dry heat of the desert over the high humidity and temperatures in a MN summer and the miserable cold in the winter. You need to check out the ice castles that used to be built in Minnesota. They were awesome.
In Maine in February it can get -20 without wind chill. And while that is very cold, if it's very windy and you're laying in bed at night, you can hear the ice popping off the trees and it is one of the best sounds you will ever hear.
time to bring out my weather nerd 1. people do live in Death Valley where the temps can be as high as 57 Celsius 2. Cacti are specially adapted to live in Arid regions, because they can take moisture from the air 3. humidity is a measure of the water vapor/ moisture in the air, and can often influence how hot it feels outside
Adam relative humidity is the amount of water the air around you can hold before it just becomes rain 70% humidity means the ambient environment is holding 70% of the water it is capable of retaining
And that comes into play in how much heat you can release though sweat evaporation. If it’s 100% humidity your sweat doesn’t evaporate and so it feels hotter. If you have low humidity you can offload body heat via sweat evaporation and so it feels cooler.
Im in Ft.Worth TX and it doesn't get as hot as Arizona, but it gets hot. In the summer our highway construction workers work at night instead of the daytime (may-oct)
I love you so much Adam ❤ your version of a snowstorm is what we typically get here in Eastern North Carolina USA 😊 it would close the schools due to that
I live in Eastern Canada, which isn't as hot as Arizona, but in my particular corner of the country, it is very humid, and the humidity makes SUCH a big difference. It's sweaty and sticky and uncomfortable in the summer, and it's damp and cold in the winter. The damp cold will seep right into your bones. So the numerical temperatures may not look so bad in any season, but the FEELING is much worse than it is on paper.
1:54 so this town is entirely landlocked so they don’t have the ocean to give them heat during the summertime, it can get so hot to cook eggs on concrete and during the winter it can be cold enough to cause frostbite
In Missouri, we can easily have a summer with days above 105*F and a heat index of 115*F and just months later, have a winter day where the low is -10*F and wind chills of -20+*F. So not every year, but in some years, it could swing 135*F in felt temperature. And BTW - we got 12-14 inches of snow in one day last week.
Seattle's considered (according to stats), the cloudiest city in the lower 48 states. We also have a fairly consistent rainfall through the year. If you don't like gloom, you may have a hard time living here. If you don't like rain, you may have a hard time living here. Luckily, my husband and I love both rain and gloom. We have fairly high humidity, and moderate-cooler temps. It's a lovely place.
I worked in construction some 35 years ago and I year it was over 110 degrees for over a month and that winter, -26 below with the wind chill and I was outside every day, very unusual weather for S.E Pa. Glad I work in a kitchen now
For high humidity, my cousin in Houston calls it "the air that you wear". Personally, I call it "chewable air" because you have to chew it before you can breathe it.
in case no one has said it, the charts on wikipedia have the temperature default to what is used locally first. Since the US uses Fahrenheit, that comes first with Celsius in brackets but the rest of the world uses Celsius so that comes first and then Fahrenheit is in brackets.
I'm in Texas and the days where it's over 105 degrees and there's 80+% humidity, you go outside and it's like you can't breathe. You choke on the air. It steals any energy you had and you want to melt onto the ground, but the ground is so hot, too, that it will give you second degree burns. We basically hibernate for almost five months.
High humidity and heat basically feels like when you get out of a hot shower with the hot steam, but it’s everywhere you go and it’s just miserable. Also, Michigan might not have the bone chilling cold of the Midwest, but we get chronic lake effect snow as he was saying. We had lake effect snow today, in fact.
I've read a few stories of people getting stuck in the desert and having to stay still during the day, because it was too hot to walk, and it being below freezing at night.

Easy way to understand humidity.
When you get out of the shower and the air in your bathroom is real heavy and damp and it feels harder to breathe, that's humidity.

Dry heat is like being in your car with the heater on full blast.
the higher the humidity the wetter you get you'll sweat more in a high humidity area than a dry area. where you live has a high humidity. if it's cold and the humidity is high it'll feel colder than it really is.
NICE VW GOLF 👍
(OR IS IT A POLO? 🤔)
That "snowstorm emergency" was for price gouging, fearmongering and government overreach, softening of the public's mind and constitution. There is nothing scary about a few snowflakes in the air.
Florida is humid 🥵
Adam: we had a snowstorm recently...
USA: hold my beer
I had to laugh a little bit. I have family in Kansas.
Too true😂
@Brenda-f9y Used to live there and so have friends there. Even here in Missouri, we got a lot more than the UK and we got off fairly lucky.
Fr we have so much snow
I laughed so much at his snowstorm!
'It's a dry heat.' Yeah, so is an oven.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Having been raised in the South but being stationed in Tucson along with deploying overseas, the only thing dry-heat means is that the shade is marginally cooler than in the sun due to the lack of humidity.
Dry heat is a lot better than swamp heat
@ there’s a reason I don’t live in Mississippi anymore lmao!!
I've been to both Florida and New Mexico. Florida is way worse at the same temperatures. The humidity is suffocating. You're constantly damp. I'll take dry heat any day as long as I have water and shade.
Thanks for the LOL - your "snow storm" that's too funny!!! Love ya, from Michigan
Ditto from New England
I'm from Michigan too, for me a snow storm is at least 8 inches.
Thanks Julie!
That's a weather condition we've very familiar with in the Midwest; we call it "slain", because it's about halfway between slush and rain. Alternately, you can just call it "precipitation", which is vague enough to cover just about any random nonsense that falls from the sky.
@@MoreAdamCouser100% humidity = rain or fog

I was raised in northern Minnesota, summers you need gills but winter is dry.
I was raised in northern Minnesota, summers you need gills but winter is dry.

Swamp ass. Is that what my friends and I used to call sweaty ass? A wet crack that feels like you sharted?
100% humidity is rain
Humidity science time! lol
When the air reaches 100% humidity, it means the air is fully saturated with water vapor at its current temperature and can't hold any more moisture. If more water is added or the temperature drops, the excess vapor will condense as dew, fog, or rain.
This also affects your body because sweat cools you down by evaporating into the air. However, at 100% humidity, the air is already full, so your sweat can't evaporate effectively. Instead of cooling you down, the sweat stays on your skin, making you feel sticky and overheated.
On top of that, since your body is usually cooler than the surrounding air, water vapor can condense on your skin or clothes, adding to the discomfort. This combination of ineffective sweat evaporation and potential condensation makes high humidity feel oppressive and stifling.
High humidity suck!!! But so does really dry air lol

Where I live it often reaches 113°F in the summer. It never snows here. Yet just 70 miles away (about a one hour drive, if clear) is Donner Pass, which averages 10 meters (30+ feet) of snow each winter. All in my beloved California.
Waving from the other side of the pass!!
Here in the Midwest, your snow storm would practically be cookout weather. Not exactly picnic weather, of course. But grilling some steaks out on the patio. Sure, why the hell not?

if you are in the Sonora desert, where Yuma and Phoenix are, and get stuck outside there are cactus you can consume for moisture. find shade, stay out of the mid day heat, travel at night.
Not the Saguaros. Chopping one down without specific approval I think is a felony.
And look out for the jumping cacti
I once had to walk 11 miles in 109 degree weather with no water after working a whole day of construction at a housing project and Golf Course called Dove Mountain at the base of the Tortolita Mountains out side of Tucson Arizona. My ride was supposed to pick me up but never showed up and the whole entire area was still undeveloped and smartphones did not exist and i was on my own and it was something I thought I would never survive, I was preparing myself for death in the desert. The only reason why I lived was just out of the sheer will to survive and there was prickly pear fruit on all the prickly pear cactus.
As I was walking through the hot sandy wash I was just telling myself to put one foot in front of the other and just kept telling myself to do that over and over again and as the minutes turned into hours I started seeing a black dot in my vision and started having an uncontrollable desire to laugh well telling myself to put one foot in front of the other trying not to lose my pace following this black dot in the sky. I finally made it to help the ambulance couldn't put an IV in my arm because I was too dehydrated then all of a sudden I noticed my mom showed up not remembering that I called her then refusing medical help because I didn't have health insurance I was severely sunburned and all my hair fell out and it took me about a month to recover from it, but what do you expect I'm Gen X we fix everything with duct tape or walk it off lol.
LORD HAVE MERCY!!! That's terrible! I'm glad you survived. That's terrible.
@@08Imogene thanks yeah it was one of the more memorable experiences in my life
I live near there. I'd highly recommend a camelback next time! 🤣 Also you can legally not be denied water at restaurants and gas stations so when I hike I usually go along the river wash and stop off at gas stations to get a refill.
@@TheZombieTurtleWhisper only Gen X would call that memorable. I'd call it a nightmare. but props to you for surviving and being tough.
In the contiguous US we have snow days. In Alaska they have sun days, so the kids can get out of school and enjoy the sunshine. ❤
I was in Arizona once during a "humidity emergency". I live in Houston, where the humidity is usually in the mid to high 70%. Arizona was expecting 30% and the local news was going crazy warning people about the dangers.
Spent a good deal of time in Phoenix and Southern Arizona. Grandma refused to turn on the AC. Or fans.
While visiting Portland, OR, it was going to be having a real “heatwave” for May: it was going to be in the low 80s. The way the local meteorologists were warning about the potential dangers…Mom and I just laughed in Arkansan.
I hated Arizona summers because of the dry heat. I much prefer humid summers over dry summers
@@TexArizocan I so prefer dry.
I’m in Houston too and in summer it feels like being wrapped in a damp sponge with a giant blow dryer aimed at you. Unless the air is completely still and then you just feel like you’re suffocating. But you do tend to get less wrinkles than dry climates!
I lived in Houghton Michigan for 2 years. My father was in the Air Force and we were stationed at KI Sawyer Air Force Base which is in the Upper peninsula Michigan about 2 hours south of Houghton. So I think I lived in the Upper peninsula for about 7 years total. The art pieces you were looking at were actually part of Michigan technological university annual ice sculpture contest. The whole university and the whole town will create these amazing pieces of art out of snow and ice. Once there was a mansion and it had like 18 rooms and it was just amazing with all the furniture and everything. It is something definitely to be seen. When I was in the high school we would go sledding out of our second floor bedroom windows because the snow drifts were so high. I remember the only time they shut down the base was when the wind chill was -65° F (-53 C). Nobody was allowed out of their house that day except an emergency
I have family that lives in Baraga which is nearby. By the way that AFB was shut down in 1995. Toni's Country Kitchen near Calumet makes the best pasties
I was ice fishing on lake of the woods in northern Minnesota. Early January, the high was -21 , we hit lows of -40 to -50 almost every year. That doesn't include wind chill.
I miss doing that, but I don’t miss it enough to make me want to move back.
he saguaro is a columnar cactus that grows notable branches, usually referred to as arms. Over 50 arms may grow on one plant, with one specimen having 78 arms. Saguaros grow from 3-16 m (10-52 ft) tall, and up to 75 cm (30 in) in diameter. They are slow growing, and routinely live 150 to 200 years. They are the largest cactus in the United States.
0.5 feet (0.15 m) 9 yrs
1.0 foot (0.30 m) 13 yrs
5.0 feet (1.5 m) 27 yrs
10.0 feet (3.0 m) 41 yrs
20.0 feet (6.1 m) 83 yrs
25.0 feet (7.6 m) 107 yrs
30.0 feet (9.1 m) 131 yrs

Moved from Hawaii to Washington State (where Seattle is) and I absolutely love it here! We have the perfect amount of all seasons. Not so cold rainy or snowy (depending what side of the State you're in) winters, sunshine and rain in the fall and spring, and (usually) not so hot summers. You can't be the Evergreen State without rain.
Here in Houston, Texas it is a beautiful, sunny day. The temp is 59° and lovely. That the nice thing about Texas. The winters are generally pretty nice.
Until it's not, like when there's an ice storm. Been there during a few of those.
Lived in Houston 12 years. First start of the 6 months of rain, STAY OFF THE ROADS? lol. oil comes to the surface, and it's like ice up north. Miss the heat and pretty girls!
English weather- Wet, Cool and Grey. US weather- yes, we have all of them.
In the desert there is nothing to retain the heat, so it can get quite cold at night.
Your "snow storm" was cute! That's the only kind of snow I like. It's pretty when it's falling but then it melts when it hits the ground so you can still drive around.
The high temperature this weekend in central Minnesota will be -1 F, with a “feels like” temperature of -19 F.. looks like I’ll be staying inside
That's similar to my temperatures. We've had snow almost every day for over 2 weeks now.
@@IslaSkye123 I get tired of the snow after a couple days! 2 weeks is too much snow
I live in northern Minnesota it was -22°f (-30°c) with wind chill last night..🥶
And don’t forget the Santa Ana winds here in So Cal fueling the LA County fires!
I live about an hour away from Houghton in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. It's like living in a snow globe. One year we even got a few snow flurries on the 4th of July. 😂
It’s currently a balmy 18 degrees F here in northeastern Illinois. Just kidding, it’s not balmy, it’s freaking cold!
Just south of Chicago here, it’s really freaking cold. The kind of cold that’s dry and biting and makes you regret getting out of bed in the morning.
It got down to 0° in Missouri...
Just wait! We have even colder weather coming!
@@petermiller4953
Dammit... 🥶 ❄️ 💀
That “snowstorm” is adorable, lol.
Yuma is a good sized town. It also has a big Marine Corp Air Base located there. It’s a nice town.
Do you actually understand what "nice" means?
Yes, Winnipeg, Manitoba is in Canada. It was being used as a reference point.
Yes, building snow/ice sculptures and STRUCTURES is a thing.
Adam, should you choose to move to America, you really want to research the types of weather/climate of the areas you're thinking about moving to first. If you choose a snowier climate, learn to ski or cross-country ski and layer your clothing.
I live in Springfield, Missouri (I'm originally from Grand Rapids, Michigan) where we don't really get a lot of snow. This last weekend we actually had, well I wouldn't call it a snowstorm, but we got about 6 inches of snow in a 24 hour period. That's a lot of snow for this area and yes, the supermarkets got swarmed with people stocking up.
Phoenix Arizona has similar temperature as Yuma. With nearly 5 million people in the metro area. I lived an entire year without A/C in Phoenix. It's certainly not something I'd want to do again, but it is survivable. The highest temperature I saw while living there was 124F (51.11C), although not official, because it was slightly cooler at the airport. It feels like a heater being held against your face & body. The dry & hot wind doesn't help.
2 Years in Miami no AC. Apartment had no tree cover either. University. NO idea how you made it that long in Phoenix. Grandma's. 2 miles out in the desert after Phoenix and no further North for sure. My max stays were a few weeks. Did I mention she managed to give herself heat exhaustion a couple years after my last stay? Requiring medical intervention? She complained they should have just poured water on her. Stubborn woman. Made 95 but would have made well over 100 if she just were a little less stubborn. Man it was HOT!
Out west we have dry heat (low humidity), so your sweat helps you to cool off. Last time I was in Savannah (Georgia) it was only 98°F, but it was 98% humidity. It’s like being sucker-punched every time you go outside.
I was born and raised in the south and I've always said that it's like being wrapped up in a wet, heated wool blanket.
I love it when it gets dark at 4:30 PM!!!
Welcome to my home state of Michigan, where you can make igloos in the winter lol. Just be careful if you come across the Mighty Mac, because you might have tons of snow one minute and then there's a weather change the next lol.
In Alaska the sun doesn’t set during the summer and doesn’t rise during winter
100% humidity = raining.
O0o!
Or fog
Dang man, if you really like rain… visit Seattle! We’re the best in Pacific Northwest! Pop over to Leavenworth for a day ❄️
Adam: "whats a cactus like"
Me who has accedentaly walked into one "Pain... just pain"
5:00 Humidity percentages: for any given temperature, There’s a limit to how much moisture the air can hold, and warmer air can hold more moisture than colder air.
The percentage is simply how much moisture is in the air vs how much it could hold at that temperature.
When it reaches 100%, that’s all it can hold. If the air tries to cool down further, the moisture comes out of the air and becomes fog.
Deserts will typically see humidity levels of 8% - 10%.
I live in New Orleans, and there are many days throughout the year where the humidity reaches 100% in the evening, and that’s as much as the air will cool down.
Typical august weather is hi 95F/35C and a low of 77F/25C.
I hate when its humid outside, its terrible. And I live in the midwest! I cant imagine how it is downsouth
What does humidity mean? Well, in New Orleans in the summer, you wake up early in the morning to go to work, open your door to leave, and wonder why you bothered to put clothes on. You feel like you are wearing the air.
and drowning in it at the same time.
Adam, you’re too funny. Here’s our snowstorm…just some flakes. Hahaha
Under a tree in the desert you get relief under a tree in Florida sucks still hot
Me living in the north of the US looking at that 'snowstorm' pic: 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That was adorable 😅
What makes those ‘snowstorms’ so bad is ice. We get lots of ice and then snow. Snow I can’t complain about, it’s the ice under the snow
I might survive in the desert. In some deserts at night it can be quite cold. Extreme north of Alaska gets constant night in winter & constant daytime in summer, Adam. Your snow storms looks like most of what we get here in North Texas in the winter. We do get blizzards but rarely.
I lived in Tucson, AZ and took a wilderness survival class. The weather is similar. It’s a lot of work, but you can survive. Cacti have water stored in them, you can also eat them, and weave fibers into hats for sun protection. There are also things like roadrunners and rabbits that you could catch and eat as well as snakes and scorpions. Not ideal, but you could. You should check out the giant sandstorms (aka haboobs) that roll through southern AZ. There are many videos documenting them passing over Phoenix.
To answer some of your questions:
1. Desert heat is a dry heat, but when that hot sun goes down, deserts can actually get quite cold, even close to freezing.
2. 100% humidity is usually when it's raining. However, high humidity is a sweaty hell. You are always wet with sweat. This is quite the opposite of the desert. You can have heat stroke in the desert without sweating a single drop because it just dries up on your skin before it gets out of your pores. In humidity, you cannot get dry. Both tend to be miserable, but if you are low on water, your better bet for survival is humidity.
3. To be fair, North Dakota kinda sucks in general.
4. I honestly don't know why anyone lives in Barrow/Uta-whatever, AK
5. When I lived in New England I struggled with Seasonal Affective Disorder (weather related depression brought on by lack of sunshine). I grew up in Tornado Alley, where the sun shines most days summer and winter. MUCH better.
Your snow storm is sooooo cute.
12:03 I live here that is at the college campus and the college kids make those snow statues it’s awesome
That sounds like a blast! What an amazing experience 🤍
Syracuse NY, we have title of snow capital in USA. Lake effect snow storms and blizzards also nor easters. Our summers are hot in humid too
Yeah our snowbelt is definitely no joke! I am from Toledo, Ohio on the western end of Lake Erie where all that blasted snow you get comes from! I drove through on the New York turnpike in the winter, your state is the absolute best at keeping the highway dry. It's like you have a giant hairdryer attached to a truck.
Nor'easters are high winds and blizzards, adam. just for reference.
From Michigan here, but in the lower peninsula. The fun thing about Michigan and states near the Great Lakes, is that we have weather patterns that are affected by the lakes. We can easily have 20-30 degree swings from only a couple of days from each other, sometimes in the same day. We also get the the Jet Stream that will change where our weather is coming from depending on where it is. One of the good things is we don't have major disasters like other areas of the US. Our hardest weather is usually the lake effect snow and very high winds from time to time (60-90+ mph).
The Northern Peninsula can have over hundreds of inches of snow throughout the whole winter and it stays cold enough that it doesn't get to melt. That man standing next to the snow, could just be a months worth :) They have specially designed trucks for snow removal because of the height the snow can get.
I lived near Seattle and I love the weather here. The summers aren’t too hot and winters not too cold. We have all 4 seasons but they are mild.
19:19 Any time we get the mildest snow in Chicago people storm the grocery stores to stock up like we've never seen snow before. 🙄 They are probably referring to something like that.
Your snowstorm reminds me of the 'thunderstorm' my sister and I experienced our first year after moving from the Midwest (home of tornados) to California (home of...well, not thunderstorms!). There were three cracks of thunder, only one of which had lightning that we could see, and I think I ended up with maybe three dozen drops of rain on my windshield...not enough to bother turning the wipers on. And the locals were going NUTS...OMG I DID NOT BRING MY UMBRELLA!!! We laughed and laughed and laughed. We do get snow where I live, maybe once every 10 years or so it will snow like your "snowstorm" with much the same results. Our extreme weather is the heat in summer. Not near as bad as Yuma, but having lived where it is moist in the summers, I can tell you that having 'dry' heat does make a difference! I can tolerate 90F in summer here much better than I could back in Indiana. (also, pro tip, having a pool makes all the heat better!)
I live in Canada in our Capital, we have winter, fall, summer, so We Do not get fire hazard , no Earthquakes etc...
I live in Ottawa Ontario Canada... Here the record high is just above 37c and record low is -39c.
It's pretty typical to have summer temps going over 35 c for a day or two and it's pretty normal as well for temperatures to drop under -20 for a week or two in winter. Humidity sucks too... Winter or summer Humidity really isn't great. A dry cold you can go outside in Boxers... for a few minutes but in a Humid cold you can feel it with a thick winter coat.
But... Winter is a fun time of year because we have the largest skating rink in the world on the Rideau Canal and the summers are Elite for people who love the great outdoors. I have been out on Trails for hours on a ATV and not seen a soul in the bush.
I lived in Winnipeg and it's cold but it's a dry cold. It's dangerous because you don't feel the cold as much so once you feel it your skin is frozen. In Ottawa when it's cold it pinches your skin almost right away.
I went to South Carolina for a wedding in the summer. It’s like trying to breathe underwater. I couldn’t find any oxygen 😂
Grand forks, ND here. You might get hardly any snow in a winter. Then there are pictures where it snowed so much it was as tall as the houses. You just never know what you might get. 😂
I am from Seattle. But where I line now in North Carolina, we just had our news outlets freaking out for 2 weeks for a big winter storm. It ended up looking exactly like your snow did.
8:07 it's due to the difference in location. default units up top, alternate units in brackets.
In Utqiagvik Alaska, the sun rises on May 10th and does not set until August 2nd, so it is daylight for 84 days. During the winter, it sets on November 18 and won't rise again until January 22nd, so it is dark for 65 days. On November 18th, "daylight" was just 30 minutes.
Great winter vacation destination for vampires. (Apparently the 2007 film 30 Days of Night should have been 65 Days of Night!)
Great video I live in central Minnesota and look forward to the change of seasons a nice mix of summer and winter is the way we survive it is either too hot or too cold but a mix is nice have a great day be safe.
Lived in the Houghton, Michigan area for awhile. Several winters where single story houses wouldn't be visable from the road other then parts of the tops of the roofs. Having 3-6ft of standing snow is common but it will eventually compress down. Normally 2-3ft of standing snow in your yard is common.
I live in Tucson AZ, Average is 100 Degrees in the summer. Usually much Higher tho.(Those Saguaros are not in Yuma btw, Tucson has Saguaros pretty much nailed down lol)
Hello from Washington State! I love that last bit with the UK snow storm 😆. What's funny is that Seattle is said to be the most UK-like place in the USA, but even we get much more snow than that 😂.
I have seen it, here, in south-central Kansas reach 120+. I have seen 100+ degree days for 2 months straight. And at the same time I have seen it go to -20 with -40 wind chill, just since I have been here, welcome to the middle of the US.
It's too cold to snow in Grand Forks a lot of the time. I lived about 60 miles east. When there is a blizzard, it picks up most of the snow from the Red River Valley as well as some of the snow mixes with the topsoil. Then it gets to where I lived, the North Woods and the trees makes the snow/topsoil mix falls on us...and it's black. We call it snirt.
Your snow storm is hilarious.
The government doesn't set food prices. That's the stores doing it. I suppose if folks don't know how to drive on snow, there can be accidents with very little snow. When I first moved to Oregon, the school closed for a snow day. I got a call from a phone tree, looked outside and thought it was a prank and went to the shcool anyway. It was closed. But I saw people get stuck in 1 inch. I decided to go sightseeing as I had just moved to Oregon, but decided to head for home when cars started sliding down the hill on the highway because they didn't drive fast enough to overcome gravity and the slipperiness of the snow.
Houghton Michigan is in the Upper Peninsula of the state I live in. I work in Mackinaw City, Michigan. Its a pretty little town just below the mackinaw bridge, which joins the lower and upper Peninsula of our state. Try searching "blue ice in Mackinaw City Under the Mackinaw bridge." It's beautiful!!!
"wearing the air", a hot humid day feels like a hot, wet sweater of air that you can't take off.
The recent snow pictures on social media from Northern Ireland, Ireland and the UK are gorgeous.
1:13 A/C
Before a/c only the hardiest ranchers and cowboy types lived in the desert. Like grandpa!
There were "swamp coolers", basically a mat that has water running down it and a fan sucks air through it. Makes it slightly cool and humid.
Wet sheets in open windows was a strategy. Stay hydrated, especially on beer. Ceiling fans. Trees if possible. Get up early and get stuff done before noon, then have a siesta in the hottest part of the day. Finish work 4-6. Eat spicy food, it cools you off.
The Upper Peninsula of Michigan is always buried in snow in the winter 😂 I avoid that whole half of the state in the winter lol
0:16 yeah in Minnesota anything under 12 in isn't a snowstorm It's just a dusting
Your “snow storm” is considered a light sprinkle here. 😂😂😂
The University in Houghton has a snow sculpture contest with all the college houses. Some years the sculptures were OUTRAGEOUS
I live in the south where it is insanely hot and humid during the summer. When they say humidity, it feels exactly like you're in a sauna as soon as you walk outside you instantly start sweating and it is suffocating. Just get into a sauna and get it around 95 degrees F and you will see exactly what it's like. It is a different type of hot, a much more miserable kind of hot. It may be 95 degrees outside, but with a high humidity level it would feel like 110 degrees easily. You would be sweating 10x as much. The reason for the high humidity is all the moisture coming up from the Gulf of Mexico its feels exactly like it would at the equator.
I live in the desert, same state as Yuma. You survive by staying inside where it's cool, or at least staying in the shade. Drinking LOTS water is super important. If you're stuck out in the desert, there's actually a lot of vegetation (much of it prickly), and there are water/food sources if you know where to look.
Yuma is a bustling community of about 100,000 people on the Arizona/California border, we were there in Sept to meet a friend for lunch! Yes, it was miserably hot, but even outside sitting in the shade under misters it was comfortable - the advantage of dry heat. Fun Fact: Just west of Yuma is the Imperial valley, a strip of sand dunes... it's where many of the Tatooine scenes were filmed for Star Wars.
Those tall cactus are the mighty Saguaro's, abundant where I live in Southern Arizona. They can grow up to 70 feet tall and live to as much as 200 years old.
I was stationed in Minot, ND and it was unbelievable cold in the winter. People's eyes would freeze.
I'm in Spokane WA And we get average 36" of snow, record is 17" in one 24 hr period. And at least once per winter it gets below 0⁰ F. Our winters are much worse than Seattle.
I grew up in Minnesota and moved down to the desert. I’ll take the dry heat of the desert over the high humidity and temperatures in a MN summer and the miserable cold in the winter. You need to check out the ice castles that used to be built in Minnesota. They were awesome.
In Maine in February it can get -20 without wind chill. And while that is very cold, if it's very windy and you're laying in bed at night, you can hear the ice popping off the trees and it is one of the best sounds you will ever hear.
time to bring out my weather nerd
1. people do live in Death Valley where the temps can be as high as 57 Celsius
2. Cacti are specially adapted to live in Arid regions, because they can take moisture from the air
3. humidity is a measure of the water vapor/ moisture in the air, and can often influence how hot it feels outside
Adam relative humidity is the amount of water the air around you can hold before it just becomes rain 70% humidity means the ambient environment is holding 70% of the water it is capable of retaining
And that comes into play in how much heat you can release though sweat evaporation. If it’s 100% humidity your sweat doesn’t evaporate and so it feels hotter. If you have low humidity you can offload body heat via sweat evaporation and so it feels cooler.
@AdamNisbett yes I thought that was implied thank you for your additional context
Im in Ft.Worth TX and it doesn't get as hot as Arizona, but it gets hot. In the summer our highway construction workers work at night instead of the daytime (may-oct)
I love you so much Adam ❤ your version of a snowstorm is what we typically get here in Eastern North Carolina USA 😊 it would close the schools due to that
Colorado in the Denver metro average snow is over 60” .
I live in Eastern Canada, which isn't as hot as Arizona, but in my particular corner of the country, it is very humid, and the humidity makes SUCH a big difference. It's sweaty and sticky and uncomfortable in the summer, and it's damp and cold in the winter. The damp cold will seep right into your bones. So the numerical temperatures may not look so bad in any season, but the FEELING is much worse than it is on paper.
u should do a video learning about each NFL team
It was -7F at 7am today and it's not even February yet. I look forward to -10 with a wind-chill of -25F. Lol
1:54 so this town is entirely landlocked so they don’t have the ocean to give them heat during the summertime, it can get so hot to cook eggs on concrete and during the winter it can be cold enough to cause frostbite
In Missouri, we can easily have a summer with days above 105*F and a heat index of 115*F and just months later, have a winter day where the low is -10*F and wind chills of -20+*F. So not every year, but in some years, it could swing 135*F in felt temperature. And BTW - we got 12-14 inches of snow in one day last week.
Seattle's considered (according to stats), the cloudiest city in the lower 48 states. We also have a fairly consistent rainfall through the year. If you don't like gloom, you may have a hard time living here. If you don't like rain, you may have a hard time living here. Luckily, my husband and I love both rain and gloom. We have fairly high humidity, and moderate-cooler temps. It's a lovely place.
Rochester, NY native - can confirm there's a lot of snow, but not nearly as much as Buffalo 😂
I worked in construction some 35 years ago and I year it was over 110 degrees for over a month and that winter, -26 below with the wind chill and I was outside every day, very unusual weather for S.E Pa. Glad I work in a kitchen now
For high humidity, my cousin in Houston calls it "the air that you wear". Personally, I call it "chewable air" because you have to chew it before you can breathe it.
Humidity is the worse. Summertime in San Antonio Texas tend to be very humid. It’s torture.
in case no one has said it, the charts on wikipedia have the temperature default to what is used locally first. Since the US uses Fahrenheit, that comes first with Celsius in brackets but the rest of the world uses Celsius so that comes first and then Fahrenheit is in brackets.
I have always wanted to come to Ireland to visit the land that my mom's family came from. I hear that it is beautiful there.
4:37 In New Orleans the highest temperature we saw was 103 with 99% humidity you'd go outside and you'd feel like you're choking on hot water
“How can it go from -6 to 30?!” Laughs in Manitoban. Our summers get up to 40C and our winter drops down to -50 easily.
I'm in Texas and the days where it's over 105 degrees and there's 80+% humidity, you go outside and it's like you can't breathe. You choke on the air. It steals any energy you had and you want to melt onto the ground, but the ground is so hot, too, that it will give you second degree burns. We basically hibernate for almost five months.
High humidity and heat basically feels like when you get out of a hot shower with the hot steam, but it’s everywhere you go and it’s just miserable.
Also, Michigan might not have the bone chilling cold of the Midwest, but we get chronic lake effect snow as he was saying. We had lake effect snow today, in fact.
I've read a few stories of people getting stuck in the desert and having to stay still during the day, because it was too hot to walk, and it being below freezing at night.
