You have some strange misconceptions about America.

I believe that's

Nova Scotia:
Sat, 7 Nov A mix of sun and cloud. High 16C.

88 millimetres of rain in about 36 hours. Not much on a global scale, but since the average annual rainfall amounts to 271 millimetres a year around here, that seems extreme to me.

You could never give the garden such a thorough soaking with garden hoses and sprinklers. I am extremely pleased. Except for some potted plants I probably won't need to do any watering for two or maybe three weeks.

went out at 100% humidity and had to keep drying my glasses every 2 minutes

wtf

It's 16C here today. Not really normal.

Also high winds and more torrential rain predicted for later.

I'll take it.

Hear some people have a big storm coming. Be prepared, not like these people.

November 7, 1846

beautiful clear day wind E by S looks as if we might some fair weather no thaw

November 10, 1846

Snowed fast all night with heavy squalls of wind. Continues still to snow the sun peeping through the clouds once in about three hours, very difficult to get wood today now...

November 29, 1846

Still snowing now, about 3 feet deep… killed my last oxen today. Will skin them tomorrow. Gave another yoke to Fosters. Hard to get wood.

December 17, 1846

... Milt. & Noah went to Donners 8 days since, not returned yet. Think they got lost in the snow…

January 17, 1847

... Keyburg sent Bill to get hides off his shanty & carry them home this morning. Provisions scarce, hides are the only article we depend on. We have a little meat yet, may God send us help.

February 10, 1847

... J Denton trying to borrow meat for Graves. Had none to give. They have nothing but hides. All are entirely out of meat but a little we have. Our hides are nearly all eat up but with Gods help spring will soon smile upon us.

February 15, 1847

... Mrs Graves refused to give Mrs Reid any hides. Put Suitors pack hides on her shanty. Would not let her have them. Says if I say it will thaw, it then will not. She is a case.

February 25, 1847

Froze hard last night. Fine and sunshiny today... Mrs Murphy says the wolves are about to dig up the dead bodies at her shanty. The nights are too cold to watch them. We hear them howl.

February 26, 1847

...Hungry times in camp. Plenty [of] hides, but the folks will not eat them. We eat them with a tolerable good appetite. Thanks be to Almighty God. Amen. Mrs Murphy said here yesterday that thought she would Commence on Milt. & eat him. I don’t think that she has done so yet. It is distressing.

... The Donners told the California folks that they commence to eat the dead people 4 days ago if they did not succeed that day or the next in finding their cattle then under ten or twelve feet of snow and did not know the spot or near it, I suppose they have done so ere this time...

Carlsson · 24th January 2016, 01:01 PM

borealis, was that 16 C positive?

sounds insane

Hermit · 24th January 2016, 01:43 PM

The wind and the rain turned up last Friday just after four in the afternoon without warning, dumped 13 millimetres of water in my garden in under five minutes and disappeared as suddenly as they arrived.

It's the heaviest rain I have experienced in my life. Fancy that happening in one of the drier regions of the driest state of the driest inhabited continent on this planet.
