SUB-ZERO TEMPERATURES CAUSES CHAOS
FROM THE AUTHOR: I've always enjoyed publishing weather news to the masses, even when it was on paper my audience was only Mom & Dad. This is the first "newspaper" that I wrote in 1985 (at age 11), reporting on the Cold Outbreak of 1985 in the foothills of North Carolina (that's right, the extreme weather spurred me to start publishing). Little did I know, ten years later I would write my first weather report (complete with photos) on the Internet, for the world to see.
The first "front page" was done on a Commodore 64 dot matrix printer. The "Emergency Edition" was printed on an ancient typewriter (yes, one you had to jam the keys down on) -- ironically I must have found this quicker than loading the word processing program (from cassette tape) on to the computer and composing it there.
