Fact of the Day: Did you know that the highest snowfall total to occur in Illinois happened on February 28, 1900. On that date, 36 inches of snow fell in a 24-hour period. Drifting and blowing created snow drifts over 10 feet in height…scary!!! The record was matched in 1978 during what has been called the Blizzard of 1978. However, the snowfall event happened over a three day period (January 25 through January 27).

Fact of the Day: Here are some wacky state laws hailing from the Gem State of Idaho: Riding a merry-go-round on Sunday is punishable with a $5 fine. Don’t even think of fishing from a giraffe’s back. If you’re 88 years of age or older, it is illegal to ride a motorcycle. (For the ladies) A man in Idaho may not give his sweetheart a box of candy weighing more than 10 pounds.
