I have had many conversations with my wife at night - that she does not remember later. So hard to tell if it was Deja Vu, a real premonition or whatever. But that you seem to remember the time line so well indicates it was not deja vu. When I get those feelings, I cannot remember when I had the experience before - it is always cloudy - and that is why I do not attach much to it. But you seem to have a greater grasp of the timing difference. So maybe y

Frogboy, I would not use any climate data from wiki. Google William Connelly to find out why, especially in the area of Climate Science, Wikipedia is worthless. The information you seek is available from other sources, and gives a slightly different picture. A more honest one.
