Summary

The April 1983 Beacon printed a February weather table with a 52°F high, -4°F low, 1.43 inches of precipitation, and 10 inches of snowfall. The table is printed as 1982 even though the surrounding issue reports February 1983 events; that uncertainty is preserved.

Evidence limits

This is a newspaper table, not a reconstructed station dataset.

Sources

  1. Prints a February weather table with 52-degree highs on February 19 and 20, a -4-degree low on February 8, average high 33.1, average low 16.1, average 5 p.m. temperature 27.7, 1.43 inches precipitation, and 10 inches snowfall. The printed year says 1982, while the surrounding 1983 reporting and February 1983 events suggest a possible source or transcription error; the wording is preserved. This is a newspaper table, not a reconstructed station dataset. The holding institution's portal restricts automated access; the archive holds a copy of this issue and can provide it on request.
