Blah, blah, blah. If there is no claim as to 1803 being the hottest year on record, what's the point? 👹😹

Can't say anything about the weather, but I can show you the phase of the moon on Dec 24, 1803. 80 percent full.

You don’t know how deeply I tried to research not temperature but snowfall for those years. Called weather places, historical archives, observatories. Searching for some NY newspapers that would give weather reports like ours do now. I was researching the full moons and snowfall trying to pinpoint a likely creation date for Night Before Christmas. Family stories put it anywhere from 1805-1809 or so. I did fairly well on the moon, thanks to that website, but I died completely on NY snowfalls.
