Re: I am a terrible person

Okay...
- The temperature with windchill factored in has been reaching about -80F in some parts of the US. That's FAHRENHEIT. In Celsius that would be -62C.

- A few years back Europe got hit with a heat wave that killed a lot of people. The temperatures were hitting 30-35C (or mid-90s in Fahrenheit). Many Americans were shocked by people dying from that (where I live in the US summer temperatures regularly hit around 110F/43C or higher), but it happened for the same reason people are dying from this cold snap here. Buildings in Europe didn't have adequate air conditioning or insulation. Elderly people and children couldn't stay hydrated or cool. Homeless people couldn't find shelter. People weren't prepared.

- Many parts of the US regularly reach these kinds of lows with no problem, because there are already services and systems in place to help. Things like city snowplows/blowers, road de-icers, businesses and charities to help people dig out their cars, car-pooling and bus systems, etc. This storm pattern has hit areas that DON'T have these systems in place and those people are stranded with no way to get to food or medical care if they need it.

Yes! Exactly.

I assume the Europe you're talking about is only the very Northern part because 30-35° Celsius is pretty normal in Germany's summertime. We regularly get summer days around 40° Celsius, too. Though I personally don't find that fun anymore at all.

They're probably talking about the 2003 heatwave - which had temperatures that maxed out at around 47°C in southern Europe - in Germany at ~37°C. We almost never had over 40°C here and rarely under -30°C (this means without heat index or chill factor, though).

Hm, I thought they were talking about the more recent heat wave that had people in the UK dying from comparatively mild temperatures.
