Las Vegas's Global Cooling Summer

I've been saying that Las Vegas has been having a cooler summer than normal and the LVRJ backs me up on this. From the LVRJ: Has Las Vegas lost its mojo?
If not its mojo, the city has certainly lost its sense of what a proper summer is supposed to be like.
What happened to 117 degrees? What happened to 115? Heck, we haven't even hit 112 a single time in 2011.
"It's just been a strange year, weather-wise," said Brian Fuis, a spokesman for the National Weather Service in Las Vegas. He has been there for more than 20 years. "This is the strangest year I've ever seen."
What's so strange about this year? Well, for starters, it's been so darn cool out there that we can no longer claim bragging rights to being the hottest major city (except Phoenix) in the country. That's always been our title.
It used to be, we would look at those poor folks on the East Coast or down South complaining when the thermometer hit 102 in some massive "heat wave" and laugh a little.
Try gripping your leather-encased steering wheel when it's 137 degrees inside your car, ya lousy whiners!
But not this year. This year, we're walking with our heads down and our shoulders sagging just a little.
In a typical year, Las Vegas hits 110 degrees or higher nine times, on average. There's a week in the middle of July where it's almost always over 110.
This year? Not so much.
We've hit 110 or more only twice, June 22 and July 2

While we are not running out and putting on parkas this summer, but it is noticably cooler than in the past. Even the dogs, it seems have noticed the difference as our dogs and other dogs have thicker fur this summer than in the past.
So, for those out of State, come to Las Vegas and cool off. You won't hear this too often, now will you?
