- A scan of the data from Fletcher's A Century or so of Wood County Weather: 1787-1991, by Lyle Rexford Fletcher (1996; Windmill Publications, Inc., Mt. Vernon, IN 47620)
- The Fletcher data
set (v1), produced by students in NKU's Applied Mathematical
Modeling class (MAT375), Spring, 2020.
- Bowling Green data (obtained by request to NOAA on April 17th, 2020):
- For historical purposes, here's the data as
it arrived from NOAA -- August, 1893 through April 14th,
2020.
One of the things you'll notice is that they used a variety of date strings, which might seem really strange -- except that I requested that NOAA give me all the data on Bowling Green from 1700-2020 -- so their server put together several data sets (I don't have the documentation for those, although I've sent an email off to NOAA to see if I can get some). So presumably, the different data sets used different systems.
That was one pain in assembling the data below -- creating a consistent format.
- I've got the latest and greatest BG data here (with some
missing values eliminated, and a few new variables that I
derived, not provided by NOAA -- e.g. years since 1/1/1893);
- my "Fletcher Years" data
obtained from this updated BG data -- giving the extreme
temperatures and extreme years (with repetitions) for each day
of the year;
- Combined Years
for each set of extreme data. Here's a picture of the updated
"Fletcher years", histograms by decade, based on that data:
Note: the first decade is truncated (1890-1900 -- since the data started in August of 1893).

- I couldn't find Perrysburg normals from NOAA, but here they are
from NOAA for Bowling Green (about 15 minutes away, the county
seat of Wood County, and the place from which most of the
Fletcher data was collected -- at the wastewater treatment
plant):

- While I've not managed to get my hands on the Bowling Green data, I did find data on a small town near Bowling Green: The Custar data (csv format -- years 1982--2020 -- more than a climate period's worth!)
We still need to reconcile this, but this group appears to be doing exactly what we need to do with data entry.
