ps: I'll be posting a list of good sources for weather records. Many are in larger research libraries.
Here is my chapter on data sources, from my Annotated Bibliography of Climatic Classification. (The last chapter contains data sources). I zipped it, after saving it as WORD 97-2003 (in case not everyone has WORD 10).
