No Global Warming For Chicago: Coldest Oct. 4 since the Cubs won 100 games, record books say

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:

How cold was Saturday?

So cold that the last time Chicago was this chilly on the fourth of October, the Cubs were in the World Series.

Saturday’s 47 degree high is the coldest ever recorded for the date — narrowly beating the previous coldest high of 48, recorded all the way back in 1935, when the Cubs won the National League pennant.

And the short flurry of snow that fell Saturday morning was the third earliest snowfall of the season since weather record keeping began in 1881, according to the National Weather Service. The earlier dates were September 25, 1928 and September 25, 1942.

No global warming for you!
