Ocean currents do a lot more to even out the weather
Yeah thank you to the gulf stream. Too bad that global warming will make it disappear ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Also wind patterns. At the midlatitudes westerlies dominate. So the east coast has a continental climate (receives cold air in the winters, hot air in the summers) while the west coast does not (the oceans make the summers and winters mild)
You’ll see that the west coast cities on the same latitudes of their European counterparts have a very similar climate (as opposed to east coast cities, which have a very different climate than their latitude-counterpart).
So do the Great Lakes. Although, currently the lakes are generating their own weather.
This is also a really great illustration of colorblindness. I actually didn’t even see Italy until I read the comment about the boot.
Thanks, didn’t realize until I read this lol
I was just thinking about this regarding climate the other day and found this interesting graphic on climate similarities in North America.
Were they limited in colours?
More than 4 colours? In this economy?
I’m aware of it, but it doesn’t work on this where non-connected pieces can have the same climate.
Further the size and proximity of Scandinavia as well as the darkness and size of Ukraine make them difficult to distinguish.
Philly, which lies in the japan part of this map, has a real nice cherry blossom festival. Im sure it lacks in comparison to Japan at the right time of year, but still its pretty dope. And yea philly has cherry blossom trees randomly sprinkled about.
ngl that could be a real map of territories after Trump is done cutting the US up and handing out the pieces to his buddies abroad.
Trippy pic bro
All the immigrants from Southern Italy coming to New York:
“It’s the same latitude, it’ll be just like home!”I already knew. My dad lives in southern France and naar him is a sign near the road where the 45th parallel crosses.
That’s the border between the states and Canada…
The west coast city I live in is just a little further north than Philadelphia and has a very Mediterranean climate so this puts that into perspective for me.
For context this puts Rome about north enough to get snow hurricanes were it on the American east coast
oh, does Italy not usually get snowstorms with cyclone structures
So thats why there are so many Italians in south philly
I thought the boot was supposed to go below the mitten
Damn you could fit like 2 Two Sicilies in there. Which is likes 6 regular Sicilies
Two Sicilies is already in there though…

Sorry, I’ve been playing too much Paradox grand strategy, and I’ve been seeing everything in maps and spreadsheets.
This freaks me out.
