Summary

The May 1964 Beaver Beacon printed Bill Wagner’s April weather report. It gave a low of 9 degrees on April 4, a high of 80 degrees on April 18, 3.29 inches of rain, 8 inches of snow on the ground April 1 with bare ground by April 9, 19 recorded weather days, and a 49-degree average.

Evidence and limits

These figures are preserved as the newspaper’s local weather report. The issue does not identify an instrument, observation site, or official weather-station series.
