265 is the difference between the highest and lowest surface temperatures ever recorded on this planet. 176 for one place is amazing.

That was just raw temp. I have to imagine the wind chill to heat index range was closer to 200. Which is incredible. I'd be curious to see what's happening to something like the median* annual difference over time.


I guess I'm not sure that's particularly useful over time. Are these swings getting generally wider? Certainly hotter on the high end. But how are the two tails moving?

I'm saying North Dakota isn't special. A fifth of the continent experiences what North Dakota does, including Minnesota.

ONe note. I should have used this one. This is the median rather than the 10th percentile. 90% if you care.

North Dakota does have the US record:

"Yes. For a single station, 176°F at Parshall,ND, (1936) is the U.S. record."

Home of Randy Hedberg, q-back coach for Trey Lance and C. Wentz.

1936 must have sucked extra for Parshallers (ites?). Record heat, record cold, dust bowl depression, flat then as now . . . .

I would include a biggie, Hitler abrogating the Versailles Treaty, but I'm not sure Parshallers were watching.

Today is the nicest day of the year in northern Virginia. Perfect temperature, clear sky, no humidity and the locusts are gone.

I'll have to check with my dad, but I think my grandfather still owned the pharmacy in Parshall, ND, in 1936.

Cool. How far does your family date back in the state? Did they directly settle there from {Your Nordic Country Here} or relocate from the east?

Dr. Mrs.' family was in Arizona 30 years before OK Corral.

For me, at least 1898 (dad's mom's dad* came here with his family as a 14 year old).
They became immediate land barrens ... meaning they moved to some of the most barren land in north central ND.



*I can trace that line back to 1800s Ukraine/Crimea and 1600s Germany.

We're probably related. My family (well, the German side of it), has essentially the same movement. About 20 miles East of Frankfurt, then moved to Ukraine/Crimea when Catherine was giving out freebies in the mid-to-late 1600s, and then to North Dakota (just outside of present day Harvey) in the late 1880s.
