Yes, Colin, Kingston is the closest recording station to my home. In
the winter it usually reflects the weather where I live, but as the
station is located adjacent to Lake Ontario the weather, especially
the temperature, is significantly influenced by this "inland sea". On
a warm spring or summer day the temperature there can be several
degrees cooler than just a few kilometers inland.
