❄️ THE GREAT BLIZZARD OF 1888
March 11, 1888 — One of the most devastating snowstorms in American history strikes the Northeast. Massive snow drifts bury brownstone buildings up to second-story windows while New Yorkers struggle through chest-deep snow on […]

What a difference today, February 7, 2026, in the low 60s in Arkansas compared to 1895. Wonder what it was like in February 2026 BC in the state of Arkansas. Or even your area?

#OTD Feb. 3, 1947: Snag, Yukon hit –63°C (–81.4°F) — the coldest temperature ever recorded in North America. The extreme cold made breath freeze into powder, sound carry for miles, and ice fog hang in the air. (It's -16°C in Snag today.) ❄️ #Yukon #WeatherHistory 🥶 #winter #CanadasHistory #OnThisDay
With all the cold weather affecting the US this winter, here's some history what people went though in 1816, world wide. Many believed it was the end of the world.

Before the Miami Hurricanes were a football team, they were a weather story.
In 1926, a devastating hurricane delayed the opening of the University of Miami and shaped an identity that still defines the program today.

Remember this? Scientists in 1970 predicted a new ice age by 21st century. Always research Earth's weather history before getting too alarmed.

#IndianaHistory: 110 years ago today (1916). ❄️
An Arctic front slammed Indy, dropping the temp from 68°F to 10°F in 24 hours. The next day hit -1°F!
Stay warm out there—at least we aren't dealing with a 69-degree drop today! 🧥⛄️

#OnThisDay in 1977: The "Big Freeze" hit Indiana. Temps dropped to record lows, sparking a month of brutal winter before the '78 Blizzard even arrived. ❄️
Who remembers their pipes freezing or the car not starting that morning? 🧤

For some reason in February 2024 NESDIS NCEI began archiving less NWS NCEP OPC charts which is super annoying
Plus they don’t archive the colored high quality ones smh

Below is a chart from 2018 that NCEI didn’t archive any of in 2024 or 2025.

DID YOU KNOW?
In the 1860s, the first public daily forecasts came by telegraph — based on barometers & cloud notes from far away.
Hit-or-miss, but it started modern forecasting.
🌤️ #Brewminate #WeatherHistory #ForecastOrigins
Think weather forecasting started with computers?
Think again.
Ancient humans read the skies via goats, wind, and cloud lore — and laid the groundwork for science today.

When clouds, birds, and shadows read like headlines—Renaissance weather forecasting was all about observing, interpreting, and predicting, one sign at a time.

Victorian Britain didn’t just get weather forecasts—they were invented.
FitzRoy used telegraphs to give daily weather to the masses. ⛈📡

⛅ In 1887, the U.S. issued its first official weather forecast — just 24 hours long! We've come a long way since “fair” or “stormy”! 📜🌤️

Big news! 🌦️ The world's first weather forecast was published on August 1, 1861, by Vice-Admiral Robert FitzRoy in *The Times*! Using telegraph data, FitzRoy predicted storms to save lives at sea. Talk about a game-changer!
☔️ Tulsa’s biggest downpour on record?

6 years ago, Cape Cod had a tornado outbreak. 3 tornadoes in 20 minutes. What was the total number of tornadoes on record beforehand? 3. All three twisters were EF-1 & left over 50k without power.

"On this date in 2019, a calendar-day record 3.44 inches of rain fell, most of it in one hour. Some parts of the D.C. area saw up to 4 inches in an hour." via @capitalweather.bsky.social

Today, we run ensemble simulations across supercomputers, parse satellite data in real time, and forecast chaos with stunning accuracy.
But it has as a backdrop:
• A storm no one saw coming
• A lake full of wreckage
• A slide-rule

Decades after the Jarrell tornado scoured the earth, its legacy is a solemn reminder of nature's power and a testament to a community that had to rebuild from nothing. #CommunityResilience #WeatherHistory

Didn't have time to post this on the anniversary date yesterday, so getting to it today. June 8, 1966 was _the_ tornado for #TopekaKansas, and if my mom had not made it across the tornado's path within minutes of going through downtown, I wouldn't be here to tell you about the tale. A few years ago, had the opportunity to interview her about that night and the time that followed. Great bit of #weatherhistory and #familyhistory. #WeatherOrWhatever https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3JcSUvNLmI0&t=5s
