One of my many quotes on the April 1855 extreme heat events in South Carolina.

Columbia, SC, near record-breaking temperatures tomorrow. April 1855 exceeded it however.

Columbia SC got its 90 F today and likely will do so the next few days too. But pales in comparison to the 100 + in April 1855, and in contrast the freezing/killing frost/snow event of April 15-16, 1849.

Super Typhoon Sinlaku, bearing down on Saipan.

Columbia SC long range weather forecast. Despite the predicted heat it will not be unprecedented, which I'll comment later in the week.

Wish we can promote more the younger new generation to take over us older ones, hopefully there'll be more of that at the next meeting.

This a tremendous killing frost event. I got some minor updates but haven't put them on a map.

Almost threw this slide out for my AMS hurricane talk, but I have to show it to demonstrate I am a true archive guy.

On my way to San Diego, thinking of the Andrew Cassidy weather record, by far the best in its kind for the mid-1800s. I got images of the originals in a huge all day effort at the US National Archives.

Focusing on the AMS San Diego Hurricanes Conference for next week.

Every June, the military holds exercises (Makani Pahili) on preparing for a fictional major hurricane that impacts all the Hawaiian Islands.

Storm damage hits Waikiki: Kalia Road underwater, massive tree falls along Kalakaua Avenue Kalia Road in Waikīkī near the Outrigger Reef and Halekulani hotels flooded Friday amid relentless rain.

Will probably count this as one of my Hawaii Kona Gales

The 1815 Hurricane was destructive in Boston, MA.

A powerful Kona Storm...

Prepping still, looking forward to presenting this in San Francisco early next week.

I will shove a few Hawaii historical hurricane slides in my AMS presentation, so now looking again at my data.

Information on the mid April 1849 snow and frost from Washington, Georgia.

These 1861 floods in the Honduras probably not linked to the West Coast USA floods but is interesting.

A snow record for 1859-1860 in western Colorado, probably near Breckenridge.

Found a mid-1850s Mississippi diary from Duke University. A bit hard to read but I'm able to get some weather scraps.

Avalanche fatality map by state this year so far. Just thought I would mention that for 1862 for California, I have 13 fatalities.

Looks like the current snowstorm at Providence RI shattered the January 18-19, 1857 snow amounts (1857 below).

Around January 17-19, 1857, A big snowstorm hit the eastern USA from South Carolina to Maine. A table below, notice the high amounts in Massachusetts and New York. @drjeffmasters.bsky.social

Snow attention now on the occuring New England storm. I got some experience with old New England historical data. The 1717 storms really stand out as likely the worst ever. I got a diary with zodiac symbols which I've never been able to fully interpret.

Snow avalanche deaths don't happen in the Southeast.

Have to look a little bit more into it, but it looks like a bunch of people killed near Sierra City, California in an avalanche in January 1890. #avalanche

Was just looking at my 1862 California data on snow avalanche accidents. At least three to four people died from two accidents, and there is a third that reported at least eight people killed. I need to verify these a little bit more though.

Why warming weather can cause deadly avalanches like Lake Tahoe Record warmth followed by a huge snowfall led to the recent avalanche that killed at least eight skiers

Suggested linkage between Avalanches and Climate Change. I would need to think more on that though. www.scientificamerican.com/article/lake...
