@zoester73 1975 gets overlooked, it started off with a freak snow fall at the beginning of June, but temperatures soared within a couple of days, and stayed like that for the next 3 months.
@PulpLibrarian People today don't realise how close we were to nuclear Armageddon back then, the Cuban missile crisis a year later was a really scary time, i was only a lad, but i still remember clearly the fear in people's faces!
