Abstract
The year 1972 shall long be remembered as one of the coldest years, a summer with many flash floods and a month without the sun. The year was the coldest since 1917; Minneapolis-St. Paul mean temperature in 1917 was 40.6 degrees and for 1972 - 41.3 degrees. Flash floods ocurred in every month from May through September. The month of November received the least amount of sunshine of any month since sunshine records began. Yet the year can be classified as a quiet and peaceful year with respect to severe storms. There were only five tornadoes, compared with the normal of 17 per year, and all five were weak and caused little damage. Also there were less than the average number of damaging hail, wind and snow storms during the year.
