Coldest Chicago July in at least 67 years

This headline should read in at least 67 years since the weather station was next to the lake prior to that. CBS channel 2 has this story:

Chicago Sees Coldest July In 67 Years
Average Temperature Only 68.9 Degrees

CHICAGO (CBS) ― Have you left your air conditioner in the closet this summer, and worn long pants more often than shorts? If so, you may not be surprised to find out that Chicago is seeing its coldest July in more than 65 years.

The National Weather Service says 2009 has seen the coldest July since the official recording station was moved away from the lakefront in 1942. The average temperature this month in Chicago has been a mere 68.9 degrees.

Even in the years before 1942, when the National Weather Service recorded temperatures at the cooler lakefront, there are only three years that had colder Julys through the 26th. . . . .
