Default Re: Current weather

I don't know if there are records kept for such things. A member of another forum who lives about 35 miles away says he's had more sub-freezing days than has existed in the prior 50 years so I wouldn't be surprised if it's approaching some record. It's mostly a matter of the extreme drought we're experiencing and, thus, no cloud cover at night to trap heat. Hope that changes by the middle of this next week.

By the way, did you know that in the northern hemisphere that high pressure systems flow clockwise and low pressure systems flow counter-clockwise? It's something that was mentioned by a commercial airline pilot during my scouting High Adventure Training last weekend. Guess I never paid enough attention to the arrows on weather maps.
