[pct-l] Desert Temperature

[RJ Lewis]

Yup, when we left Rugby, North Dakota to move out here 5 years ago, the 
forecast temps for that night (without windchill figured in) were -54 F. 
Brrrrrrrrr. That was Jan 1. Growing up in Minnesota, we often had cold 
winters like that....after several weeks of that in the winter, 20F 
feels downright balmy!
