This Day In Weather History

 
In 1856, a severe blizzard began to rage in Kansas and Iowa and lasted for 3 days. Parts of Northern Iowa were buried by around 15 inches of wind driven snow. && In 1952, a remarkable display of sea smoke was seen in Hong Kong Harbor. This was caused by an Arctic air mass rushing over the relatively warm water of Kowlown Bay. The air temperature near the water was 44 degrees.
