Arlene Coles is still tracking weather for NOAA like she's been doing for the past six decades.
NEWCASTLE, Maine – A 92-year-old woman in Maine has been tracking the weather for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration for 60 years.
Coles has a briefcase with all her old records, including her very first official recording on May 13, 1965. Coles said the job is easy. She can see how much snow is on the ground by a giant ruler in clear view from her kitchen window. She can also check the temperature from her kitchen, which also acts as her home office. An outside thermometer is wired through her cellar and is readable from her kitchen counter.Coles said she decided a long time ago to report her official readings around dinnertime at 5 p.m.
