Cold Summer: 1,025 Record Lows in First Three Weeks of August
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) reported in its Daily Weather Records for August 23 that during the three-week period of August 1-21 more than a thousand records were broken across the United States for low maximum temperatures."
Brrr...can't imagine how cold their winter may be. The current winter here has also been colder than we normally experience as measured by the use of bedlinen in comparison to previous years...and a hot water bottle, not normally a requirement on the coast.
