Memorable Weather Events of the Past 200 Years
Excerpted from the 2005 Farmers' Almanac If it seems that weather is more precarious today than in years past, guess again. America has always had strange weather events.


The Year of No Summer
In prolonged human suffering, no other disaster in New England in history matched the frigid summer of 1816, the coldest in American annals. To this day, no accurate record exists as to the number who perished, or what the financial loss might have been in a winter that lasted from November of 1815 until April 1817. No other event, other than the Gold Rush of 1849, had as much impact upon westward migration as did the "Year of No Summer."

Top ELEVEN Most Memorable Weather Events
In 1999 we published an article on the 100 Most Memorable Weather Events over the past century. In 2001, we went further back in weather history and named the Top 10. In 2007 we added one more event to the list.
