'Record Cold Sweeps Massachusetts"

Source:

"Just days after Boston hit a scorching 100F, the city has gone and set a new record low-max, on Saturday, July 3 — further evidence of the swings between extremes we expect during times of low solar activity.

The high temperature in Boston touched a mere 60F on Saturday — this busted the city’s previous low for the date: the 61F from way back in 1914 ...

Back on that same date –July 3, 1914– Worcester also logged its all-time low temperature for the day (also of 61F) — but that benchmark was shattered Saturday by a daytime a high that reached just 57F.

Hartford and Providence narrowly missed-out on suffering their coldest July 3rd’s of all-time — both cities registered 62F on Saturday, with the records being 61F and 60F, respectively–both also set in 1914.

“It must’ve been a really cold day on July 3, 1914 across New England,” said NWS meteorologist, Torry Gaucher."
