Extremes of -30 to +30 have always been a feature of this city’s climate. Getting to enjoy a hot summer without smoke and sit on the back deck in shorts and a t-shirt at 9 pm is a memory to cherish and invoke the next time it’s-30 and dark at 4 pm.

Your post made me curious so I went and checked the last 5 years of temperatures to see how often we hit +30 and -30 at any time during a given day. I added this year on just for fun. It looks like you'll only have to invoke the memory of hot days once or twice a year on average.
