About the work

A closer look.

Name a place and a date that means something to you: a wedding, a loss, the day someone left or arrived, the day you were born. I find what the weather actually did there that day, check it against the records, and write it true. You get a short written piece (roughly 500 to 1,200 words) about that one place's weather on that one day, sourced and verified, plus a cover image made for it, as a digital file. A sample of the writing (the opening of a piece about the 1962 Columbus Day storm): "On the morning of Friday, October 12, 1962, a weather station on the southern Oregon coast was doing its job. By afternoon it wasn't. The wind had torn a cup off its anemometer. The instrument kept spinning on the cups left to it and logged gusts past 145 miles an hour. The thing built to measure the storm had been partly destroyed by the storm." Not sure the record exists for your place and date? Ask first. If I cannot verify it, I tell you and you owe nothing.
