June 29 - Thomas Jefferson: 3rd U.S. President, 1st U.S. Weather Nerd

And I thought that I was a weather nerd….For the 3rd sitting President of the United States, The weather held a curious fascination for one Tomas Jefferson as he made regular weather observations in a journal. He bought his first thermometer while working on the Declaration of Independence...not a snappy new pen...no, a thermometer and his first barometer shortly after that.
