Rain Fell On Clear Athens Days From Brick Ovens
Professor H E Chapin of Ohio University notes unusual rain in Athens Ohio during a sequence of clear days. The rainfall formed as hot vapor from brick ovens and a dryer rose, then met a cold air current near a hill crest, producing rain while the weather remained sunny. The observation ties to a new brick works operation in the Hockhocking River valley and a nearby railroad cut.
