Today's Weather Trivia:
1780: In southeastern Canada and in New England, darkness fell throughout
the late morning. By 2:00 PM, it was so dark that birds stopped singing and
people lit candles to read. Some believed that judgment day was at hand,
others that it was an eclipse or volcanic eruption. Actually, a forest fire
near Lake Champlain had sent smoke too high for people to smell but dark
enough to block the sun.

The Big Dipper hangs high in the north as darkness falls this evening. It is

forming a giant semicircle.
