How much hotter has your state gotten?
The NOAA has updated their definition of what “normal temperatures” are for each state in the nation. Check out how the average temps have changed in your state over the past few decades.
Take Minnesota and Wisconsin, for instance. Their annual minimum temperature is up almost a whole degree. While declaring these the new “normal” might make it easier for some people to forget how bad it has gotten in some areas, maps like these are the simplest way to remind them.
The proof is in the (melting) pudding.

Comparing and contrasting information mapped to the continental United States of America, hence Maps Of the Continental United States (MOCUS).
Feel free to send me links to other interesting MOCUSes.
Urban dictionary:
Mocus - Adj. A state of confusion, often referring to the state of mind brought about by detoxification. Derived from "mostly out of focus."
You need to forgive his blithering; he just got out of detox so he's really mocus.
