I live at 6000' altitude in Albuquerque, NM and we have had to turn on our heat the last 2 days

Our high temperature yesterday may have barely made 60 degrees F and today low 60s F.

Meanwhile Portland and Seattle in NW are breaking 100 F. Upside down weather.

In the Blue ridge mountains and our weather has been beautiful. I haven't turned my A/C on this year. ( most people that live here don't have it ) Every night lows in the high 50's . I think the hottest day so far this year has been 81

I’ve thought about turning my gas fireplace on, but maybe I’ll just bundle up.

where it could be 120 on a summer day and 50 that same night. Winter nights we might regularly see -15 or lower
