Climate
Last week was quite cold across much of the U.S., but was it extreme?
Last week was the coldest week of the winter, with subzero temperatures extending across a significant portion of our country, even in southern states like Texas . But, is it really that big of a deal? It is, after all, winter. It's supposed to be cold. Perhaps it was like this every d

85 degrees. That’s the temperature swing we saw between last Sunday’s high of 71° and Thursday morning’s low of -14° at Denver International Airport (DIA).
