Record Lows and Record Highs

Our High Temperatures this week are all in the high 90s, while in Washington state, Kentucky, Virginia, and elsewhere, temperatures are record-breaking on the low side.

It was 110 degrees Fahrenheit (43.33 Celsius) on Sunday, which was a record-breaking high for this time of year. The previous record was 103 degrees in 2018.

While it was -28 degrees in Davis, Washington, a record-breaking low.

My simple mind thinks that if it's colder than normal, it would be colder than normal throughout the US. Yet we have record-breaking extremes on both ends of the thermometer... at the same time.

It’s weird, strange, and beyond my logic.

I will be getting my steps in early this week, or maybe right before sunset.

Is the weather weird where you live?
