Roanoke records now date back to 1912Posted Feb14, 2008 at 09:37 PMIf you keep up with daily climate statements from the National Weather Service in Blacksburg, you may have noticed that some of Roanoke's record highs and lows now date to before 1947, which was the limit of the previous period of record based on the establishment of the Roanoke Regional Airport weather instrument site. In fact, those records now go back to 1912. This public information statement from the National Weather Service explains why. I hope to dig further into this in Weather Journal sometime in the near future. |
