Arctic August NYC Sets Record For Coldest Day (thanks Ant and Digg). Well, I could have told you that… not about tying that record, but about the unusual cold, as it was a rainy and chilly day around these parts. It's not much better today, but I'm not going to complain, as word is the temperatures should return to the 80s (don't forget your shoulder pads!) in a couple of days. Not to mention there are sections of the country still in the midst of a deadly heat wave, and of course, there are hurricanes and tropical storms popping up in various spots, so to say it could be worse is a severe understatement.
