-70°F in Canada today. The coldest December reading in 50+ years (since 1975!)
Meanwhile the US is En Fuego with 100s of record highs!

In signs for those waiting on lift lines, the ski monopoly today effectively bragged about how much it’s deciding to price gouge everyone as compared to what it charged in the 1960s.
$4 in 1961 is $43 in today’s money, or about 25% of the price of the same lift ticket today.
