This Day in Weather History — History
This Day in Weather History

“This Day In Weather History” is a daily podcast from The Weather Network that features unique and informative stories written and produced by host Chris Mei. Weather happens every day. It can be sunny, cloudy, stormy or maybe just unsettled, but it is always happening! It’s when severe weather strikes that it captures the attention of those affected…and the imagination of everyone else who follows the story. So it is with good reason to expect that after over a century of news and weather information gathering and record keeping, there would be a “special” weather or natural phenomena event to mark each day of a calendar. Do you remember the first recorded tornado in Canadian history? No, you don’t because none of us were there…so we dive into that! How about when Prince played the Super Bowl halftime show? It’s possibly the best performance ever for that event….and the backstory made it all the more special! Or how about the 25th Anniversary Woodstock Festival back in 1994? It’s all here – all year – in one podcast…. “This Day In Weather History”!

How exactly did that happen? It was paperwork. For 1955, we did not have the same instant access to data and communication we would have in the years that followed. This mix-up resulted in an "Alice in 1954 and 1955.

January 1 - New Years Day Special Edition ON ICE! Jan 01, 2022

Show notes

Happy New Year!!! I LIVE for New years Day...back in the past it was for college football bowl games but I lost interest when they took this one day event and spread it out over weeks and added games seemingly whenever a new sponsor wanted one. THEN The NHL did something amazing! They took from the experiments in the past with outdoor exhibition games and the already first successful Canadian Heritage Classic in Edmonton, and started what would be called the Winter Classic. Today I look back at:

2008 - Ralph Wilson Stadium, Orchard Park, New York: Pittsburgh Penguins and Buffalo Sabres.

2009 - Wrigley Field, Chicago, Illinois: Chicago Black Hawks vs Detroit Red Wings

2011 - Heinz Field, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania: Pittsburgh Penguins vs Washington Capitals

2012 - Citizens Bank Park, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania: Philadelphia Flyers vs New York Rangers

2014 - The Big House, Michigan Stadium, Ann Arbor, Michigan: Detroit Red Wings vs Toronto Maple Leafs

2020 - Cotton Bowl, Dallas, Texas: Dallas Stars vs Predators
