Conclusion for your grandpa/great grandpa.
My grandpa/great grandpa were wrong it was only colder at times and the other times it looked like it was the same temp. The graph showed that it varied date to date. in 1936 was probably the coldest -20! Sometimes it would be colder and others a little bit warmer. Like now in December we are having 50 degree weather and no snow. But it changes eery week sometimes warm and sometimes really cold. Like yesterday was in the 50's and today in the 20's-30's.
