  • ROCHESTER HISTORY Edited by BLAKE MCKELVEY, City Historian
    ROCHESTER HISTORY Edited by BLAKE MCKELVEY, City Historian VoL. XV JANUARY, 1953 No. 1 The Weather in Rochester's History By BLAKE MCKELVEY Many have repeated Charles Dudley Warner's adage (generally attributed to Mark Twain), "Everybody talks about the weather but nobody does anything about it," yet the fact is that we have done a great deal about the weather. We have striven, from the beginning, to adjust our life habits and our domestic arrangements in order to safe­ guard against its extremes; we have devised methods for predicting its variations; and we have developed new industries to ease the hardships its rigors cause. Our opinions of the weather, as well as our reactions to it, have changed from time to time and from place to place. The history of Rochester, like that of most other communities, has been influenced by its weather experience and potential. Moreover, we have been as a community keenly interested in this subject from our very first days. And since 1952 has broken many records and seemed, as it progressed, to be breaking more, perhaps it will be fitting at its close to review the history of Rochester's weather and to assess its continuing influence on our city. We do a great deal of griping about the weather these days, more about its inconveniences than its extremes for the latter seldom hit us as severely as in former times. A protracted dry spell with recurrent heat waves, such as we experienced this past summer, may burn up the lawn, temporarily, but, unlike our fathers, few of us know more than we read in the papers about the more important effects on local crops.
