Too bad the graphics only show the lower 48 states. Sure, some will claim that, "Alaska is always cold, and Hawai'i is always hot," which is a typical fallacy.

People surf in Alaska, and it snows in Hawai'i. (We just had a hailstorm a few weeks ago.)

Back in the 1970's I remember seeing snow fall halfway down the slopes of 13,796 foot Mauna Kea, something we don't see too often anymore.
- dandelany 12y agoClick and drag to pan the map - Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico all have data :)
- D9u 12y agoThank you... Not sure why I didn't notice this initially. (blames outdated mobile device)
- aidenn0 12y agoHail is not the same as snow. When I lived in the mid-atlantic region, we got hail almost exclusively in the summer, as it was typically caused by thunderstorms.
- CanSpice 12y agoLittle known fact: Hawaii's record high temperature (100F) is the same as Alaska's record high temperature (100F), and both are the lowest record high temperatures for the 50 states. Alaska's record low (-80F) is a little bit colder than Hawaii's record low (15F) though.
- batmansbelt 12y agoI'd love to live in Hawaii. It sounds like heaven on Earth.
- dba7dba 12y agoIt is. Not so much if you have to work 2-3 jobs though. Or if you happen to have island fever. If you want that kind of temp without worrying about island fever, try any city in So California that's within 20-50miles of the Pacific ocean... ex: Manhattan Beach, CA http://www.weather.com/weather/wxclimatology/monthly/graph/USCA0664 http://www.weather.com/weather/wxclimatology/monthly/graph/U... Average low temp is 25f. Lovely place.
