January is with us already. I hope you are coping with the weather, wherever you are pitched. I thought I’d start the year by looking back aways and the weather seemed a good place to start.
The first item I found was from January 2nd 1862: waters from the Colorado
and Gila rivers flooded Arizona Territory
between Fort Yuma
and Pilot Knob. Reflecting more of today, on January
9th, 1875 in Cheyenne,
Wyoming Territory,
the temperature fell to -38F. It wasn’t much better ten years later in Bismark,
Dakota Territory, where it was reputedly -35F at noon.

We might grumble into our coffee about what’s outside our
window, but we sure need to give thanks for modern clothing and houses, and
think of those who made the best of what they had. I wouldn't want to change places.
