2) Go to the website http://weather.sumofus.org/ and follow the directions. Put in your birthdate and birthplace and find out what the weather was on that day. [Note that it only goes back to 1901.]
3) For extra credit :), find out the weather when your parents and your spouse(s) were born.
4) Tell us in your own blog post, in a comment to this post, or on social media. Please leave a link on this post so we can see what you found.

This weather site is a lot of fun. I wish it went back a bit further into the 1800s. No one in my close family was born on a nice weather day! https://emptybranchesonthefamilytree.com/2018/04/saturday-night-genealogy-fun-the-weather-on-the-day-you-were-born/
