Mar 2019

in Montana. When I lived in WI, back in the early 1980s, the cold months were as you said. And summers never got beyond the 90s if they ever got that high. Now we are seeing temps in the 100s in summer up here, well north of the 45th parallel. I try to stay in the northern latitudes because I can't tolerate the heat, anything over 75F is when I start to wilt like piece of lettuce.
