Chicago's temperature can vary 5C in a single day. Does that mean it will suddenly be sheeted with two miles of ice?

- rdl 14y agoShifting the baseline of average temperature does make a huge difference in extreme outliers (hurricanes, etc.). Similarly, raising the average IQ of a site increases the number of patio11. It also makes a difference if there's a seasonal change -- like, right now, all of the ice melts in the summer at the southern extent of an ice sheet, but if the temperature drops a critical amount, the ice lasts all summer, and starts to accumulate. Or temperature rises and the reverse happens.
