the united states of america

Ok but I have lived in Virginia for 40+ years and never seen a lemon pie served on Thanksgiving. 8 years in Missouri I saw exactly zero blueberry pies served on Thanksgiving. Blueberries are not even remotely seasonal, people!

The pies they are not talking about are pumpkin and apple (both seasonal and classic). Of those pies, only pecan pie belongs in a Thanksgiving tableau.

Fourth of July? Sure, bring your cherry, key lime, blueberry pies. They are appropriate then. But not Thanksgiving, sheesh.

savages

we don't eat Lemon pie in Florida.

pie is for throwing

Blueberries are not even remotely seasonal, people!

OK, but just go to the grocery store. They have food all year round.

gonna have to blow the midwest whistle on several of those states, i'm afraid.

indeed being a beach boy c. 1965 would seem to skew these findings

as a native of upper michigan i have bigger issues than the midwest boundary definitions

I think "no data" sounds about right.

The Beach Boys couldn't get chicks in Upper Michigan due to the overwhelming popularity of my uncle's band.

This map gives you a rough sense of all the ways U.S. land is used. Much of U.S. land serves specific purposes, such as the 2 million acres devoted to golf courses or the 3 million acres for airports.https://t.co/WkDPqg3rwv pic.twitter.com/FUfKYZhy2L

These maps never ever lie.

What's the Matter With Kansas?

Kind of weirded out by Virginia tbh

montana :(

(must. resist. Alabama. joke)

it's "Alabama"

ha i missed VA's....

I bet Kansas has theirs because of the Koch Brothers.

Someone else will have to explain Vermont.

skeptical of the variety in this one...seems a bunch of states would have more in common along the lines of “definitely” and “separate”

i know the precise layout of this map is unimportant for its purposes but nevertheless it is appalling

I hate those too.

Nothing like driving due west from Shreveport to Tulsa.

That slow lift from east to west across Kansas, Nebraska, etc.

ha, the highest point in kansas is "mount sunflower," which is a hill a half mile from the colorado border.

the walls of the sierra nevada and by the snake river on that map are cool

i've never considered redrawing borders based on 'our weather is pretty much the same' but i love it

A little miffed that the Norman, Okla., and Pleasant Hill, Mo. stations are named after the town they're in while the Little Rock NWS is located in North Little Rock, Ark.

The narkissism of little differences

tbf the arkansas travelers are based in north little rock and are rather more grasping

lol @ silby

I envision the Caribou weather station as being staffed by caribou

arkansas travelers are indeed based in arkansas though. we've had this conversation.

have we now

That's pretty close to what the original 13 colonies looked like!

Kansas City is not going to be happy about this.

That is about the most stupid "analysis" I have ever encountered

Texas be sooooo pissed (rightly so)

Yes, we've seen the "Top Cities for BBQ in the US" @TripAdvisor map.

Our official statement is "LOL."
