The National Weather Service predicts a likely chance of showers with a high of 73. The Farmers’ Almanac forecasts that today’s conditions will be wet then fair. The Farmers Almanac prediction — written nearly a year ago, is certain to be half right — it must be fair at some point. (The Almanac wasn’t right yesterday — the National Weather Service was right on the money.)
In Wisconsin and American history on this date, in 1783, the Paris Peace treaty was signed between representatives of America and Britain. Here’s more detail from the Wisconsin Historical Society:
On this date the Paris Peace Treaty was signed. The treaty demanded land, including Wisconsin, be ceded from Britain to the United States. Two years after the conclusion of the Revolutionary War, American and British delegations met in Paris to formalize Britain’s recognition of the United States of America. The treaty articles were drawn up on November 30, 1782 and formally agreed upon on September 3, 1783.
The full text of the treaty is available at Early America.
