I googled, to find out where it came from, and found it in this 2010 EPA document:
epa.gov/sites/producti…
"Climate Change Indicators in the United States" (p.60 as the document numbers pages)

But a simple table of average monthly temperatures makes it simpler:

A: about six days.

Note the latitude change that gives ≈1°C (1.8°F) temperature change. You need a scale-of-miles, which I added to this high-resolution version (with permission of the Arbor Day Foundation):

A: 1°C (1.8°F) = about 50-70 miles latutude change

The average tropospheric lapse rate is about 6.5 °C/km, so 1°C = (1/6.5) km = 500 feet (or less, where it's very dry).

If none of those things sound catastrophic, then congratulations! Welcome to the ranks of the Climate Realists!
