This blog always cracks up when Europeans get a heat wave.
We understand temps are a 100 + on the Continent. We're not converting that to metric. Not on the 4th of July. No way.
What do you think of air conditioners now, bitches?
Instapundit, we think, pointed out that America is actually a lot further south then most of Europe. New York City is roughly on the same parallel as Morocco.
Which doesn't prevent winter from dumping odious amounts of snow on the Northeast. We have a heavy duty 36 inch gas powered snow blower.
Chime in anytime you want, Canadian reader(s).
We bet Brussels doesn't like those either.
Even after four hundred years of European settlement most of North America is still wilderness* and prone to wild climate fluctuations. You know what we call 100 + temperatures in North America? Summer time!
Without asking we're sure our Confederate reader(s) are thinking, 'Ya'll Yankees don't know nuthin 'bout summertime heat.'
As M. Steyn says, North America spends half the year trying to kill you.
It's at this point that Australian reader(s) raise a finger and say, 'Uh...yeah, about continents trying to kill you...'
*We're ensconced in it right now. Go to Google Earth and look up Lake Buel. This town was incorporated in 1761.
