Henkhaus Weather Across the Nation February 10, 2008

It appears that there are some stark differences in the weather that we are all experiencing today, and given that MY weather is clearly the best, I thought I’d be nice enough to highlight these differences for everyone’s mutual amusement.  At Noon-ish Tucson Time (that’d be 1pm Midwest time or 2pm for Rach), the current temps are:

  • For Greg in Lawrence:  19F, feels like 9F — burr, that’s chilly!!
  • For Mom and Dad, Kris and Jennifer:  21F, feels like 8F — burr, still chilly!!
  • For Rachel in West Lafayette:  10F, feels like -10F — damn, I hope Rach and Bucky are snuggling somewhere warm together!
  • For Kurt in the Frozen Tundra, I mean Minneapolis:  -9F, feels like -31F — Holy Mother.  How is that temperature even possible.  Wow.
  • And For ME!!! In sunny Tucson:  73F, feels like (drumroll please) 73F!!!!!  –  OK, I know you all hate me, but listen, I have it hard too.  I need to get going on my run before it hits the heat of the day, 76 is a bit warm to be jogging outside, right?? :)

OK, so lets sum up:  Tucson, 73 – Minneapolis -31F.  That’s a “feels like” difference of 104 degrees.  And by the way, I am eating it up now because this is the one time of year that Tucson weather rules over the rest of the country and I recall receiving more than a few phone calls from Kurt when he lived in Chicago and it was 75 in July and it was 153 in Tucson.  So there!  Have a nice Sunday everyone, and stay warm!!!
