So much of what we think, feel and believe is based on perspective. One summer while driving from Houston, TX to Steinbach, MB I witnessed an example of different perspectives and had to laugh.
The following are weather forecasts on the radio.
Houston: "It's going to be a scorcher out there today, highs reaching 95 degrees."
Dallas: "It's going to be a scorcher out there today, highs reaching 100 degrees."
Oklahoma City: "It's going to be a scorcher out there today, highs reaching 105 degrees."
Omaha, NE: "It's going to be a scorcher out there today, highs reaching 95 degrees."
Sioux Falls, SD: "Its going to be a scorcher out there today, highs reaching 90 degrees."
Fargo, ND: "It's going to be a scorcher out there today, highs reaching 85 degrees."
Winnipeg, MB: "It's going to be a scorcher out there today, highs reaching 80 degrees."
And an example from living overseas.
Winter example:
Oslo: Temperature is below -14 C, indoor recess because it is too cold to send the students outside.
Winnipeg: Finally a break from the cold today with temps reaching a pleasant -16 C. Go out and enjoy the nice weather while it lasts.
