Summer Must Be Over! 80s to 40s in late May

Before eating dinner, I had to look up the instances where we had high temperatures in the 40s AFTER May 24th (today's date). Here they are...

5/29/1984    48
5/25 & 26/1979   49   49
5/25/1925    46 & 47
5/31/1910   46
5/27/1902    49

The bigger question...what were the high temperatures like in these years DAYS BEFORE we plunged into a late fall chill? Has there EVER been an instance where we went from the mid 80s to the mid 40s in a few days this time of year?

YES! It happened in 1925 and 1902

1984:    63 and 55 before we dropped to 48
1979:    72 and 56 before we dropped to 49 and 49
1925:    85 before we dropped to 46 & 47
1910:    69 and 57 before we dropped to 46
1902:    88, 77, 74, 68, 65 before we dropped to 49

What about the last few days?.....

83, 87, 85, 74 before we dropped into the mid 40s late yesterday....daytime temps today have yet to recover!

This marks the ONLY time we've gone from three days in the 80s to the mid 40s in less than 36 hours this late in the spring!

Sigh.
