Ah, but Rap, that is the American midwest- not to be compared with any place along a coastline. Southeastern Alaska's all-time lowest ever recorded temperature stands at minus 22F. And that was long before my time.Our highest recorded temperature is 90F. I've never seen that either, although I have seen it hit 84 a couple of times. For Southeast, that's HOT.

I don't know about Pocotello but I do know that Boise gets blazin'.
