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)
