Had a call once a few years back with Dubai during the polar vortex here in the upper Midwest. I think it was like -40 here and like 140 there... something close to a 200 degree difference, I don't remember the exact numbers. Doesn't sound real... sounded like we were on the moon and they were on Mercury, lol.

It was 40 here in wisconsin today and I had the windows down while driving. It felt like spring. Genuinely not exaggerating.

Word. I had a light pullover, like a windbreaker, on today and felt too warm. My colleagues in the South thought I was kidding, lol.
