As I'm listening to the distant rumble of thunder today's blogpost will be about thunderstorms and great fires that destroyed cities:

Pittsburgh's longest stretch of consecutive days with no precipitation was 26 days, from Oct. 14- Nov. 3, 1874. Here is a newspaper article from The Pittsburgh Daily Commercial on the event. #WeatherHistory

Some of you may have seen snowflakes in the forecast... and while accumulations are not expected tonight, accumulating snowfall is not unheard of in May! Check out our "late season snowfall" statistics here: https://weather.gov/dtx/LateSeasonSn… #miwx #WeatherHistory

15 years ago, a huge snowstorm buried most of Ohio over 2 days. Snowfall of 10 to 20" was common with over 24" in NE Ohio. This storm came only 2 days after a damaging ice storm struck parts of NE Ohio. See our webpage to learn more! #WeatherHistory storymaps.arcgis.com/stories…

It was #OTD in 1947 that Snag, Yukon Territory (near modern day Beaver Creek) reported a low temperature of -81F (-62.8C), which still stands as the lowest official temperature in North America. To the west in Alaska, Tanacross reported a low temperature that morning of -75F (-59.4C), which is the Alaska February record low temperature.

Fairbanks #OTD in 1934 marginally came out of the most severe cold snap in community history*. Four straight days, January 12-15, saw temperatures stay in the 50s and 60s below (Fahrenheit). During Jan 1934 there were a total of 39 hours with temperatures of -60F or lower over five separate days. #akwx #weatherhistory
*Cold snap in January 1906 was likely as extreme but no mechanism in use at the time to measure high temps below -39F (freezing point of mercury).

In Fairbanks, #Alaska 61 years ago today it was really, really cold: high temperature -55F (-48.3C), low -62F (52.2C). Many people who lived through this ranked this two-week cold snap as most extreme in post WW2 era (wose than Jan 1971 & much worse than Jan 1989). The forecast in the News-Miner headline here turned out to wildly wrong. The temperature warmed 40ºF the next day and to above 0ºF on New Year's Eve. #akwx #weatherhistory #cold @CarrieNash @tania @ANC_Historian @Climatologist49

It was #OTD in 1970 that Prospect Creek (northern Interior #Alaska) reported a low temperature of -62F (-52.2C). This is the lowest (probably) reliable temperature on record in Alaska in November. #akwx #weatherhistory @Climatologist49

November 27th, 1701: Anders Celsius, the astronomer who invented the Celsius thermometer scale, was born on this date.
