Below is the now infamous GHOST YEARS of our long Chester County PA Climate History. The chilling chart below highlights those murky 53 years of climate records from 1895 through 1947. The National Center for Environmental Information (NCEI) has in a spooky 52 of those 53 years chillingly changed our historical climate records. But what makes this especially frightening is they did not use any actual living trained National Weather Service cooperative data records for any of those years. Instead they identified a surrogate Ghost Station whose soulless resident data ended up reporting data as the coldest place in Chester County. Somehow each and every year this station reported colder average annual temperatures compared to up to six (6) actual real reporting climate stations across Chester County in all those many years. Where did this Ghostly data come from? Why was it always colder at this station than at any real station? Don't be scared - the truth is out there!!
