Speaking of climate

An Englishman and an American were discussing the question of climate. The Englishman said it was quite common in England to go out in a sports jacket in the morning and be glad of a thick overcoat in the evening.

“That’s nothing,” said the American. “I remember two of my friends who argued on the road when the snow lay eight or nine inches deep. At last one of them made a snowball and threw it at the other. It had only five yards to travel, but the weather changed so rapidly and it became so hot that instead of being hit by a snowball the man was scalded by hot water.”
