35th Coldest May in 138 Years

It's not our imaginations--this month has been much colder than typical Mays. Yesterday's high was the lowest for the date since 1959, and so far this is the 35th coldest May since 1871. And today's high in the low 60s still puts us "a whopping 7.8 degrees behind last year," according to, you guessed it, Mr. Tom Skilling. [Trib, NWS]
