Weather History Sources

With all things on this site, I try to source credit everything I use. In this case, this project took close to 8 months to complete. I wanted to add this feature to my site for many years as I loved coming everyday to see what happened on that day. Over this time period, there were so many internet sources I used, many of those sites closed or disappeared before I released this feature. I also went to Environment Canada's Library in Downsview for some added references.

I have used various sources of data over the net.  For those facts about the weather, I used various general weather books outlined below For some of the weather history, I used a few weather history calendars by the weather god and guru David Phillips. I only used about 50 days worth of data in this project because I know he does his research and should get paid for it.. His calendars have a wealth of information and can be bought here. I know I buy them every year.

Some of the books I used are:

National Audubon Society Pocket Guide to Clouds and Storms
The Discovery Channel Handbook Weather
Teach Yourself Weather
Blame it on the Weather by David Phillips

If I missed anyone in the credits, please contact me and I will add you here.

Thanks
