We don’t really get those where I am but we do get unsurvivable cold snaps, so we’ve got that going for us.
That’s what they said in Canada. Then there was a really insane heat wave in 2021 in Alberta.
Yes in North America the non-coastal west can get brutally hot, I’ve lived a few places there. I looked it up and Albertte has hit 44 C which is decently hot. But they’ve also experienced -61 C. Which one do you think will kill you faster if you don’t have a temperature-controlled place to get away from it?
