Can't explain your specific station, but these folks have given some 
good examples over time of how busted the "adjusted" USHCN data is.

Have fun with it... I'm not debating on this one, just throwing you some 
interesting info about USHCN data...

Biased up, biased down... whatever... it's not the raw data, and people 
base most larger scale projects off of it.  Garbage in, Garbage out.

No offense to anyone at NOAA.  I'm sure they're trying hard to figure 
out how to properly account for man-made environmental changes around 
these measuring devices.
