This Day In Weather History

 
In 1942, a trace of snow was observed in Wichita. This is the earliest snowfall on record for the city. && In 1950, residents in the northeast United States observed a blue sun and a blue moon as a result of forest fires in British Columbia. In 1979, Death Valley, California "chilled out" with a high of 104 degrees for the second of three days. These were their "coolest" high temperatures during what, no doubt, had been a sweltering September.
