BFE MT latitude - 46 N

Key West FL latitude - 26 N

Late June in Key West the sun is 4 degrees off of vertical at noon, late June in Montana the sun is 24 degrees off of vertical, in fact all year round the sun is always 20 degrees closer to the horizon at noon in Montana than it is in Key West. Ain't gonna do the math but prob'ly works out to be about twice the amount of sunlight hitting the ground per square foot in Key West on any given date, ergo the sunlight is twice as intense, this is the reason why it is warmer in Florida than it is in Montana.

Sun block gets old, stuff sticks to it and it gets in your eyes, hats and lightweight long-sleeve fishing shirts are the way to go IMHO. Or else being you're White you too can get skin that looks like a highway map in no time at all, no matter.

And them kids are good-looking, you're right, prob'ly ain't yours.
