This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Are you talking C or F? Im pretty sure a 40 F degree temp swing happens every year in Minnesota, probably multiple times. The record in the us is 104 F in a single day, in Montana.
Yeah, I think the record where I'm from was somewhere in the neighborhood of 65 to 70 degrees in one day. And I spent two years in Minnesota and there weren't a lot of days where we had that were 40 degrees swing where it went from near freezing to 80s or 90s during the day while I was there at least.
