[wxqc] Request for historical weather info for specific locale

[greyhead at comcast.net]

Hello. I am new to this group, having found it through Weather Underground. I often use wunderground to find historical data to map seasonal averages for a very specific need: solo rowing along the US coast and Inside Passage of British Columbia. Because of topography, I've found that local knowledge and memory is of greater use to anticipate how weather systems behave in very specific locales than generalized forecasts and that is why I need your help.

I have been asked by a fellow adventurer to use my weather savvy to help him break a world record. He has a compelling reason to attempt this, as it is a gesture in a race against time: His mother is dying of cancer and he is using this effort to raise funds for Whatcom Hospice, a care facility in Whatcom Co., Washington. To get background information about the record attempt, go to www.kayakforcare.com.

Specifically, I need help in locating amateur meterologists that have collected data  for the past five to ten years in the Lake Whatcom basin. The county meterologist only has historical data on temperature and precipitation for the basin, and I need data on wind direction and wind speed throughout each day for the month of April, ideally, for the past ten or more years.

Can you direct me to a source/s that can give me that information. I'm looking for wind behavior data for the middle of April in the Lake Whatcom basin, Washington State.

Sincerely,
Dale McKinnon (http://www.fairhaven.com/events/dale2004/index.html)
