LongRanger Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 On some old tapes I found the attached recording of Tex Antoine on WABC-TV. Based on the wx info he presents, what date is the broadcast? It's most likely from the 1970s, and the best I've come up with is April 19, 1972. One discrepancy is Tex says the record min for the date is 23, whereas WeatherUnderground says 21. 19720419wabcTexAntoine.mp3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongRanger Posted September 8, 2013 Author Share Posted September 8, 2013 Thanks, uncle W(eatherbee). The record min dates from 1875. Were there other reporting stations during that time such that Tex might have been referring to one of them instead of Central Park? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know his old almanac had 23 for the low in 1875...further veview by the noaa changed it...there were records from the battery but wasn't used since 1961...
