Dude, Cool stats.  But what ya doin up at this hour? You should come up and milk cows with me! LOL No prevented milking here!

Wife had to get up for "work" @ 3am and I'm not smart enough to go back to bed, BUT that is about to change.She just called and got there OK.

BTW glad you are the one squeezing the cows, I retired from that 41 years ago. But I still like milk and milk products.

Just thought some on here need to be reminded the weather has been erractic since records have been kept.

Hobby,  Absolutely right.  Now we just get the info and pictures in real time 24/7 and then TV people commentate on it 24/7.

Then those in the weather industry or the climate change industry raise "awareness" to make their fortunes.

For a history class in college I had to look old newspaper reports and wright a letter back home as if I had just came to the country. I really enjoyed the assignment. One thing I remember was that sometime in the early 1900's it snowed June 10 in Washington DC. I wrote the letter as if I came here to start a farm. Lots of weather stuff like you have mentioned above In those papers.
