Passengers flying in to Cedar Rapids Thursday knew they were in for a rude awakening.The story is about Cedar Rapids (less than an hour south of here) experiencing their coldest day ever, today. The actual temperature was -29º. Can you imagine leaving a place that is 70º and arriving in another place that is -29º!!!
"It was funny because when we got on the plane the pilot was like, yeah, we'll be landing in Cedar Rapids at 11:00 and it's gonna be negative 30," said Mount Mercy student Jimmy Scroggins. "And I was just like 'Negative thirty'!"
Scroggins was returning from the 70-degree sunshine of Phoenix for the spring semester at Mount Mercy.

Joel,
ReplyDeleteJoel - My brother and family are traveling tomorrow from India to Detroit. In India current daytime temperature is 89°F and guess what in Detroit -14°F :)
But they are not transferred to this temp in few hours, their total flight is over 20 hrs!
But I just called them gave them some warning about what to expect when they land here :)
Bino,
ReplyDeleteWow... what a "culture shock" that will be! LOL I hope they're bringing warm coats. Otherwise you'll have to do a little shopping before they arrive. :)
Too bad it's not the other way around... with you going there. This would be a great time of the year to get out of dodge!
Hope you have a great time with your brother and his family!
