"How far north Europe is. I always pictured Europe as roughly parallel to the US, so northern Europe would be the same latitude as Minnesota and southern Europe as Florida. Not even close. The UK is almost entirely north of the lower 48 states and Rome is further north than New York City."

Rosalyn, I'm afraid Eunice is technically correct. It's a matter of semantics, but the comment is accurate. So...

Hugh,
Norwegians have problems seeing this the other way.
They don't understand how much further south than us most of the US is.
I live at 59.28N, so a bit south of anchorage compared to the rest of the US.
The south of Norway is way closer to me compared to the north.
Thank god we have the "gulf stream" bringing heat up to us.... then circle around Greenland before giving the east of the US cold water :P
Living on the coast, we could have 50F any day of the year. Pretty sure Anchorage does not stay at 50F in the winter :)

The one that blew my mind when I first heard it was that Las Vegas is farther west than Los Angeles. When I lived in LA, I thought I was heading east when I went to Vegas, but I was actually going northwest.
