@Nikolai-De-Silva but i tend to stay as far away from Columbus as possible. I hate big cities with a passion

We too do the same. And the traffic mixed with the intense heat just make it worse!

@beagle1 Ohio is your typical mid western State with a wide spread of weather. The coldest time of year is late January through late February with temps well below 0C. Last year we hit -26C. August is usually the hot/humid. We can get into the mid to high 30s C. Ohio is one of the cloudiest States in the country. The Great Lakes are cloud making machines. Weather from the Gulf coast comes up and slams into us from the south and colder air comes down from Canada. We will even get stuff from the Pacific, so we get it all. Yeah we still rock temps in F, but i know how to convert to C and get within a degree or so.

At least 200000 km width and 50000-100000 km height. I think.
