It’s still pretty early in the game (T-minus 523 days) but we decided it was about time to pick a random date to pursue with the church, reception and rehearsal-dinner people.
So, we went to Weather Underground’s History page and did some research. Three minutes (and one excel spreadsheet later) we had something that looked like this:
| 22-Sep | 29-Sep | 6-Oct | 13-Oct | |
| Mean Temp. | 65 °F | 62 °F | 59 °F | 56 °F |
| Average High | 77 °F | 74 °F | 71 °F | 69 °F |
| Average Low | 53 °F | 50 °F | 46 °F | 43 °F |
| Record High | 94 °F (1980) | 85 °F (1986) | 85 °F (1997) | 84 °F (1998) |
| Record Low | 38 °F (1997) | 34 °F (1978) | 28 °F (1968) | 30 °F (1985) |
| Avg. Rainfall | 0.13 in | 0.12 in | 0.11 in | 0.11 in |
| Record Rainfall | 1.57 in (1982) | 2.23 in (1963) | 0.68 in (1972) | 0.85 in (1983) |
After much deliberation (three, maybe four minutes) we decided to target October 6, 2007. Not too cold, not too hot … and it didn’t hijack one of our attendants (Melissa Merens) 30th birthday (missed it by a week). It’s a shame, she would have gotten one heck of a party …
Um, do I get a prize for totally calling it?!?
You bet! I’ve got it right here at my house:) Just swing by and pick it up.
Will do. June 2 about midnight, after flying for 24 hours straight from central Africa. Be ready!
