Obviously, there are many more important events occurring today, but I have a project that requires me to try to find out what the daily weather conditions were (particularly daily rainfall) for Columbus, Ohio from April 13 through May 14, 1998.

Is there any Internet resource for this infformation to which one of my fellow Freepers might kindly direct me?

Thanks, PackBoy

See http://www.intellicast.com - it has a link to historic data that should be helpful.

Depending on where you live, newspaper archives would various amounts of info, certainly in Ohio,

I recall that most newspapers (back in the days when I actually handled the filthy things) had national temperatures and codes for cloudy, rainy etc.

Here in Sacramento, the state library has amazingly easy access to newspaper microfilms to every major paper ever published in CA.

Pop on down to the major library in your nearest large city and you should be able to find what you need.
