The area around Yellowstone is certainly an icebox. About as harsh of a winter climate as you’ll find in the lower 48. Cool fact, the Yellowstone magma chamber is independent of continental drift, so the hotspot has moved over millions of years. IIRC, the enormous lithium deposits on the Oregon-Nevada border are actually from a previous Yellowstone eruption.

Trigger warning: latest EPS may cause emotional distress for certain winter sorcerers and others.

I hope you're kidding. I think the people who posted the sun reacts thought you were kidding.

I mean, last winter in DC was utter garbage aside from a few cold days in January, and the winter before was even worse, so I’m sure Phil can sympathize.

That is good news. Living where he does it's easier for him to have a more detached outlook on things.
