American Spring

Post by biffvernon »

Turned out nice.
More than 15,000 temperature records were broken in the U.S. last month and the country had its first $1 billion weather disaster of 2012, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
The average temperature in the contiguous U.S. was 51.1 degrees Fahrenheit (10.6 Celsius), or 8.6 degrees, above the 20th century average and 0.5 degrees more than the previous all- time high set in 1910, according to NOAA.

Imperial measurements make it sound so much worse than metric! :wink:
