HISTORICAL WEATHER AND CLIMATE FACTS FOR TODAY

NOVEMBER 8TH
HISTORIC WEATHER EVENTS
...1819...
In Montreal, at midday the sky turned from a greenish tint to an inky black, 
then sooty rain fell. Frightened citizens made their way to the church. Suddenly 
a lightning bolt struck the church spire, and it crashed to the ground. The next 
day was bright and clear as if nothing had happened. (NWS Louisville)
...1870...
The first storm warning was issued by the U.S. Army Signal Corps Weather Service. 
(Sandra and TI Richard Sanders - 1987)
...1943...
An early season snowstorm raged across eastern South Dakota and Minnesota into 
northern Wisconsin. The storm produced 22 inches of snow at Fairbult and 
Marshall MN, 20 inches at Redwood Falls MN, and 10.1 inches at Minneapolis. 
Drifts fifteen feet high were reported in Cottonwood County MN. The storm 
produced up to two feet of snow in South Dakota smothering a million 
Thanksgiving day turkeys. (6th-8th) (David Ludlum) (The Weather Channel)
