It’s time for my weekly weather quiz question. Here goes. We all know that polluted air is not good for you. What event occurred in October of 1948 that proved that idea? Please remember to post your answer as a comment by clicking on “no comments /comments” in the upper right hand portion of this page under the caption, then add your comment. The first person to post the correct answer will win a week of free personalized weather forecasts tailored to your needs. The answer has to be a comment to win. An email answer will not count. Good luck.

Advisories: NONE AT THIS TIME.

A trough of low pressure (“U” shape) will move through and a weak cold front already moved through for a few more clouds. Another coldfront will come through by mid week, but there will be some warming for the latter part of the week. It seems like this seesaw temperature pattern will last a little while longer, but the cooling won’t be by very much before temperatures start to rise again.
