The National Weather Service predicts today will bring patchy fog, a high of 78 degrees, and a 50% chance of thunderstorms later tonight. The Farmers’ Almanac predicts “cold winds and rain for the Ohio River Valley, followed by clearing and cold conditions.”
Last week’s better predictions: NWS.
in Wisconsin History, the Wisconsin Historical Society reports that Milwaukee, in 1924, hired its first black police officer, Judson Walter Minor.
In national history today, it’s Columbus Day. No mail delivery, some parades, a continuing debate about whether Columbus arrived here first from Europe, and was an honorable explorer or emissary of oppression, etc.
If even a few federal offices are closed, in Washington and beyond, it’s worth all the fuss.
