Notes:

• Introducing a new calculation! Sharp eyes will have noticed a new feature--the "differential." My crack team of temp consultants & I have spent hours pouring over meteorological data, analyzing & applying complex mathematical formulae, in order to fine-tune our rating system. Alas, the scientific community has been loathe to recognize this achievement, no doubt because I am an English major. *
• Why does Norfolk place 3rd over Eagan? Because we are located closer to the Equator. [Also see footnote * below.]
• A "shout-out" to Lincoln, Nebraska this morning. It's not everyday that a temperature like this receives an accolade like this.

* Also, I might add, who cares? It's my blog.
