Strategic cut off. If you REALLY wanted to prove your point you should of said, "top 33" 😉.
But, let's be real here. There is 0 difference between >10 and <20 degrees. Plus, you have to factor in wind chill. When I was a kid I never once asked my ma what the temperature was outside; instead, I always asked "what's the wind chill"...

Everyone does this.
E.g. "We're ranked in the top 15" = "We're 15th in the nation" 😛
And that's totally not a dig at the Blackhawks. 😉
A couple degrees isn't much, but 15 degrees around freezing is very significant.
The ranges are hugely different, too:
vs
Chicago's low temperature average doesn't even reach Grand Forks' high temperature average in January.
Now factor in that one is Chicago and the other is Grand Forks, and I think you are going to have to give this one to the poor city.
And yes, yes I am bored.

They both have very similar wind patterns. They both average 12 mph for most of the winter, and Grand Forks experiences higher gusts. GF consistently peaks around 25-30 mph, whereas Chicago peaks around 20-25 mph.
On an "Average" January day, at their coldest, GF will have -4 degrees F and 12 mph winds. Chicago will be 18 degrees and also have 12 mph. At that point in time the wind chill in GF is around -25 degrees F, and Chicago is around 5 degrees F.
Fun fact, assuming a normal wind, the coldest wind chill experience in Grand Forks was -75 degrees F on January 30th, 2004. The coldest wind chill in Chicago was -50 on January 20th, 1985. Dontcha just love the Midwest?

It's serious enough that we're having our second snow day at SUNY Buffalo in as many days. It's quite rare that UB closes even once in a year, so when it happens two days in a row... it's gettin' real
We are very confused in AK right now....our ski resorts are crying
In Las Vegas I have been walking around with a t shirt on.
85 degrees in San Diego right now :/
Oh no you don'tGeorgians be like:
Chance of showers in San Diego! A good thing since there hasn't been literally any rain this year in CA.
We just got rain up here in LA!
Then I guess we can expect it very soon!

Does that koolaid taste good?
Mixing koolaid and vodka tastes great.
