I was just going to agree that it had become freakishly cold here the past few days, not do actual research. Are the temperatures for Salt Lake City, or Park City? Thanks for the data!

I think I make this observation every year, but I really do think the temperature is lower than it has been in years past. Are you a weather historian with access to hard data that can prove me wrong? Then shut up." Your temperature sensing abilities seem to be pretty good. This year it was colder on opening day at 5 PM than previous years (excluding 2006 & 2007, for which I couldn’t find data). Maybe if the film critic thing doesn’t work out you could try being a weather rock.
