...ON THIS DATE IN WEATHER HISTORY...

In 1903, prairie fires, caused by sparks from trains, swept
across portions of Wallace and adjoining counties, burning twenty
thousand acres of rangeland between the Smoky Hill River and the
Union Pacific tracks. In 2015, blizzard conditions were experienced 
across the Tri-State area with winds that gusted to 63 mph in 
several locations across the region.
