It’s pretty insane. Need to be prepared for any kind of weather. We had a 121F swing this year in Minneapolis. It was -21F on January 23, 2026, and 100F on July 27, 2026.

    The largest recorded temperature change in one place over a 24-hour period occurred on January 15, 1972 in Loma, Montana, when the temperature rose from −54 to 49 °F (−47.8 to 9.4 °C).

    Just a wild place

    That's not even uncommon. We get that pretty much every year. People think it's cold all year around. Nope. Not at all
