Tulsa, Oklahoma

Thanks for checking back and reverting my revert on Tulsa, Oklahoma. If you hadn't, I wouldn't have done some more research and the article would have stayed wrong! Keep up the good work. Okiefromokla's sockpuppet/talk 23:43, 17 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Baltimore and Nashville

Thanks for your input on the Baltimore and Nashville articles. What the mesotherm lines mean are that true Cfa climates have the coldest month with an average temperature above 0°C (32°F), as explained in the opening paragraph of the Humid subtropical climate page. In the page on the Humid continental climate, there is a discussion of what the "transition zone" is, which is between the line of above 0°C line, known as the "freeze" line, and the line to which the avg temperature of the coldest month is below -3°C (26.6°F), known as the "persistent snow" line, because above this line snow becomes persistent and lies on the ground for long periods of time, a good indicator of a continental climate. The city of Baltimore has an average January temperature of 2.5°C (36.5°F). This has it in the true Cfa zone, not in the transition zone, which is considered the "northern edge" of Cfa as well as the "southern edge" of Dfa. The major city best described as being on the "northern edge" of Cfa would be Philadelphia. I edited the Nashville article to include the difference "freeze line/persistent snow line" to makie it sound more encyclopedic. I had put in the Baltimore article in the past that is lies on the northern edge/northern margin of the CFa zone, and it was deemed un-encyclopedic by the reviewer, helping Baltimore's article fail to acheive "good article" status. Some of us are trying to fix all of the problems, and that was one that was fixed. As to why they have a problem with "northern edge" and don't have a problem with "transitional climate" or "in the transition zone" is beyond me, and well, that's why I'm not a reviewer for good article status! This was also a problem when I identified Ft. Lauderdale as being on the "northern edge" of the Tropical savannah climate (Aw) for the same reason.
