This was not obvious to me. I consider myself pretty solid in geography, but I never realized this until I read it here, just now. It's surprising because of the climate difference.

I'm sure you know many people as this is hardly common knowledge.

I will rag on myself... My first semester at UT-knox I had my own apartment. I was 18 and I have never really used either before that. Mom always did my clothes my whole life up until that point

shite, a lot of people don't know that Chicago is farther north than NYC.
Had a coworker going to Boston for a seminar and they thought they could "drive up" to NYC as well. "You mean down?" "No, drive or take a train up north to New York"

Thought North Carolina was further north than South Dakota.
