    I’ve lived in 3 different countries in like 5 different climate zones and none of them had temperatures that fit nicely in the 0-100⁰F range.

      I’m similar, but two of the countries I’ve lived in are Australia (Victoria, central QLD and NorthWest WA) and the USA (Texas and Pennsylvania), so I’ve lived in 6 very different climates (also lived in the UAE)

      The only one of these that got even close to 0°f was Pennsylvania, which over a few years has a few nights that dropped below 20°f, which was slightly less common as Victoria and central QLD seeing 120°f. WA and UAE frequently saw 120°f in the summer, a similar rate to Texas seeing 100°f (where I was) this last summer.

      I doubt there are very many places where you’d reasonably expect to see 0°f and 100°f in the same year.

        Where I live now stays between 30 and 90F. I lived in Saskatchewan and it would go between -40 and 100F. Crazy weather. Closest was maybe Denver but even Denver gets into the -20s F regularly.

        I dunno, here in the Rockies that doesn’t sound that weird. High altitude, low humidity. We’ll get at least one or two 100+ heat waves in the summer (106 is the hottest I’ve seen here), and in the winter it can drop below zero at night. Granted, the last couple decades has made the former more common and the latter less, so I don’t know if we’ll see sub 0 this year. It used to be pretty common though

      It works pretty well for Minnesota. In a normal year we’ll have a few days that fall out of each side of that range.
