Records were kept that far back? 300 years in what region?
Engineer and cartographer Nicolaus Samuelis Cruquius started to record the weather in the Netherlands on 19 december 1705. Of course his measurements weren't very precise, but they give a good overview of the weather in those days.
It's pretty nice to have records going back that far for a country. You can pin point weather patterns at least.
