At 2:36PM the temp in Racine WI was -12F. It is on a warming streak. It was -17 when I went out earlier. Extreme winter this year.
"Once you get to longitude zero, further south is counterproductive."
I think you mean Latitude. Longitude zero runs north and south through London, England.
Sorry . Meant to say Greenwich, England.

Yes, it is an anthropic coincidence.

Yep cold enough for me this morning.
The accounts of Oymyakon and Yakutsk, both in far northern Russia, ask why "anyone would want to live" in such places. It occurs to me that perhaps nobody wants to live there. They have to stay because selling a house in such a place would seem next to impossible, and in some cases that's where their jobs are. As for me, when the temperature gets below about +70-degrees F, I put on a coat!
