IF it is a record, it has just squeaked over previous mark. Looking across the state these are the numbers going back ONLY to 1980, mainly because that is what my numbers go back to.
Lynchburg tied 4th highest, Roanoke 7th highest, Danville 6th highest, Blacksburg 1st, Dulles tied 4th, Reagan National 8th, Charlottsville 8th highest, Staunton 1st, Dale Enterprise tied 6th, Front Royal 2nd, Norfolk 11th, Richmond tied 8th highest, Williamsburg tied 5th, Emporia 4th, Wallops Island tied 8th. Now to the far western/southwestern part of the state, and these numbers are high. Wise 1st, Pennington Gap 1st, Pulaski 3rd, Richlands tied 1st, Wytheville 5th, Pearisburg 2nd, Abington 4th, Covington 3rd, Hot Springs 1st, Gathright Dam tied 3rd and my own in 4th. Yes, that is a cross section and not ALL locations, but are there enough 1's and 2's to overcome the 8's, 7's, 6's and 11's? And was it warmer back in the 30's? Just pondering.
