Depends where up north.

Yup with "up" being the operative word.
It will be 205 on a mountain in North Carolina, around 200f in Denver
and ~187 on the top of the mountain in Jackson.

D'oh. You still don't know what comprises the "liberal arts." Ignorant
ass.



Water boils at 212 degrees Fahrenheit at sea level, whether you are in
Florida, Ocean City, Maryland, or on the beach in Milford, Connecticut.



Only if the barometric (or atmospheric) pressure is exactly the same at
each location .... which is very unlikely.

The differences in boiling point temperatures will be very small, but
not exactly the same. An area in a "low" (pressure) area will have a
lower boiling point than a high pressure zone.




You don't have to pick nits to show that Krause is a dummy. ;-)
