Other discussions in this weekly podcast include topics like:

• Extremes: 72 at Pembroke Pines, Opa-Locka, & Key West, FL, and -19 at Moose, WY
• There is a lack of severe weather across the country
• Rather cold weather across eastern much of US
• Astronomy Outlook with Tony Rice
• and more!

Our email bag officer was overcome by unexpected guests, so she’ll have your notes and emails next week. But James promised to read at least one email.
