How do you open the .djvu file?

 

Nothing seems to work.

 

Unfortunately you have to download the browser plugin available for download on that same page. Once downloaded, the maps you download will open in the Djvu viewer

Actually a pretty fun database to play around with. A 2006 Bellingham Herald article highlighted a few major events in the area, this was one of them:

 

"February 1916: Seventeen inches of snow fell in Bellingham the first week of the month; 42 inches fell over a two-week stretch. Snowdrifts rose 30 feet high. Lynden was cut off from the world for four days."

That's a pretty cool site!

 

Yeah seeing upper air data way back would be awesome. Too bad their wasn't weather balloons back then.

Too bad we can't get upper level maps back that far. I would love to see January 15, 1888, January 31, 1893, January 8,1909, December 11, 1919.... some of those phenomenally cold days across the region.

Maybe we can just get an upper level pattern like that again someday so we can watch the maps in real time. :wub:
