I would like someone to find me a site that keeps detailed weather
history for major cities, such as New York and L.A.

I would like to be able to look at 2004 for instance and find out how
many days the high temperature was over a certain number or how much
precip happened on a certain day.  The further back the history, the
better.

Actually..you know what?  As I check that site out, I am discovering a

Are there any other sites that may have "all" the info from previous years?
