* 87 was the USA high yesterday at Harlingen, Laredo and McAllen, Tex.
* 9 was the Lower 48 USA low this morning at Truckee, Calif.
* 40 below was the low in Alaska at Chandalar Lake
* 36 below zero was the low in good ole Deadhorse
* 4.14 inches is how much rain fell yesterday at Lake Jackson, in SE Tex.
* 0 was how much snow was left on the ground atop Mt. Leconte in the Smoky Mountains this morning.
* 8 inches is how much they still had yesterday morning
* 15 inches was their Monday morning totals. It melts away quickly this time of year
* 2 o'clock Sunday morning is when Daylight Saving Time (DST) starts. It does not end until the last Sunday in October. Woe is me. Speaking only for myself, I do not like DST but I definately respect your opinion if you do. All of the world weather data flows based on GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) and sometimes referred as Z time. This means we have one hour less when preparing our forecast and other public releases because they will be issued on DST. I will be cheated even more next year when DST will go into effect earlier than ever and end later than ever. It starts next year on the 2nd Sunday in March and goes until the 1st Sunday in November. Guess I will have to move to Arizona where they observe standard time all year
* 1 was how many tornadoes touched down ion the entire USA yesterday. It struck 2 miles SE of Merced, Calif., in the central part of the state. Power lines down and a barn unroofed
* 27 degrees has never been recorded in Birmingham after April 19
* 36 is the lowest ever recorded in the month of May
* 32.7 was the low at Black Creek, in NE Etowah County, this morning with widespread light frost
* 2 was how many bowls of cereal I had for breakfast. It was almost tasteless. The empty cereal box tastes better than the cereal.
I hope Weather By The Numbers Has not become boresome. It may have run it's course for interest

Thanks for all the 33/40 team does to keep us informed of our ever changing weather! Keep Weather by Numbers going and let us know what is happening out there!

and I know that California doesn't see many tornadoes.....they get earthquakes instead. That must have been a surprise!
