You have inland jellyfish?

There are a surprising number of places in the US that have freshwater jellyfish!

I’ve only ever seen them in lake Pomme De Terre (AKA “Apple of the Earth”, AKA French for “potato”), but they’re in like 44 states!

I thought you were describing western Sydney for a minute.

Sunday it’s expected to be 28°c and partially cloudy, Monday will be 34°, Tuesday will be 32° and thunderstorms.

Laughs in australia!

I second that I thought it was Sydney- been through two confirmed tornadoes, one possible. Have seen frosts so thick they were ice, and that’s not even up in the Mountains!

The only difference between Australia and Kansas is ocean front property and an imbalance of deadly animals!

We had a rainy haboob in Kansas last night. Even for us, that was a little odd.

I was thinking Northern Utah, it drops below 20 almost every winter, rises above 100 every summer, is extremely dry, yet is known for snow

Grew up in Ohio and live in Illinois.

I haven't noticed any difference in the weather.

Only the scenery.

I wouldn’t call Utah Midwest, we don’t really qualify with our short goodbyes and lack of high consumption of alcoholic beverages.
