THIS DAY IN 1885 & a link to the NOAA CENTRAL LIBRARY

This is just a little FYI that you may find interesting.

June 17th 1885: The Statue of Liberty arrived in New York City aboard the French ship Isere. To me it seems as if Lady Liberty has been there forever, but its just been some 122 years. I checked some archived data from the NOAA Central Library and it appears as if the morning low was 64.9 F, with a dewpoint of 57 and the past 24hrs. had produced .02" of rain.

The linked website has data going back to 1871.

Check it out.
