I live in Oregon, and a couple years back it was 47C here at my house. The year before that, we had an ice storm that covered everything with 1.5 inches of ice and knocked down a half dozen poles within a quarter mile of my house, and countless trees.
So... yes?
Edit: Ha, those two events were actually the same year.
- iancmceachern 3y agoI've lived in places (Tracy, CA, Sacramento, Ca) where it's over 120 for 2 weeks straight in the summer, every summer. Not just that one time. I've also lived in places (New York, Colorado) where storms like that knocking out critical infrastructure is again, a yearly occurrence. It's true, Oregon has way more extreme temperatures than I personally thought before this interaction, but it's still milder than many other places in the country I suppose.
