Which State or City has the biggest weather differential in the world?

I live in Utah and in the summer it gets over 100 degrees(f) and in the winter it gets below 0(f). I'm sure this is one of the biggest weather changes in the world. I want to know if in fact it is the biggest change.Which State or City has the biggest weather differential in the world?
In the US im guessing its the interior of alaska. In Fairbanks alaska temperatures normally fall to 40F below, and during summer can get to more than 80F.

Though Utah probably has some on the highest temperature ranges in the lower 48.



In the world that honour goes to verkhoyansk, Russia. Where temperatures most winters can fall to -70 and have even reached -94, but during summer they can reach 80F and have at one point reached 99F.

A temperature range of 193F.Which State or City has the biggest weather differential in the world?
i'd guess central asia where it's gets -40F or more and 120F in the summer sun. It's the massive landform and distance from ocean that allows such extremes. in the winter, arctic air flows freely over the steppes. in the summer the sun bakes the ground like an oven. deserts are similar and i've heard of rocks cracking when the daytime heat rapidly cools in the dry air after sunset.Which State or City has the biggest weather differential in the world?
We get something like that in Chicago too.
