If Harvard seems to have gotten off to a slow start one can easily blame it on the weather. September has been the coldest Back-to-School month since 1917 in the Boston area.
Since the 14th, the temperature has been consistently below normal for the month, and the average mean temperature has been a chilly 61.1 degrees, approaching the all time low of 59.3 degrees in September of 1871.
Returning students were greeted by 41 degree cold on Registration Day, September 21. Whether or not Registration affected the weather, it did turn out to be the coldest day in this coldest month.
The excessive cold hardly frightened away "the usual" in Cambridge. Rainfall totalled 5.07 inches, nearly double the normal amount.
