David,

I'm not sure what your experience is in preparing this report. I'll admit that mine is kind of anecdotal. However, my masters thesis was on developing a method of measuring/predicting energy usage in large public buildings (for the most part, elementary schools). One thing I attempted to do was correlate energy usage with outside temperature before and after making changes to the heating systems of those buildings. My single largest problem was getting accurate temperature data. This was not temperature history, but just finding out the high and low temperature each day. In some cases, the nearest temperature readings I could trust and were taken every day were over 50 miles away.

So, when someone tells me that they know what the weather was like 150 years ago (at least enough to tell me the the average temperature is .75 degrees higher now then it was then), I don't believe them.
