Number of the Day

94 degrees: The record-breaking temperature in Winner, South Dakota on the second to last day of winter this year—just one of many places all over the country experiencing "impossible weather."

"There's extremes in weather, but seeing something like this is impressive and unprecedented," Chicago NWS meteorologist Richard Castro told the Daily Herald. "It's extraordinarily rare for climate locations with 100+ year long periods of records to break records day after day after day," the office added in an official statement.

...It's hard to overstate how impossible this weather is—when you have nearly a century and a half of records, they should be hard to break, much less smash. But this is like Barry Bonds on steroids if his steroids were on steroids, an early season outbreak of heat completely without precedent in its scale and spread.

Oh well I'm sure it's nothing to worry about.
