Curses, boiled again

It was officially 103°F in Hartford yesterday, the highest temperature ever recorded there. Boston’s high temperature, also 103°, tied for the second hottest day on record, going back to 1872.

We don’t know what the record high in Bolton is, but our old-school weather reporting equipment indicated 102° in the shade in the village center. If it’s ever been hotter here, prove it.
