Yesterday’s better prediction: Neither, really. It was rainier than either prediction forecast.

In Wisconsin History on this date, in 1933, according to the Wisconsin Historical Society, Amelia Earhart visited Janesville:

On this date Amelia Earhart spoke to the Janesville Woman’s History Club as part of the group’s 57th anniversary celebration. Four years later, Earhart disappeared as she attempted to fly across the Pacific Ocean.
