Weather and odd heat wave trim Ottawa to a warm night
Light snow and unseasonably warm conditions spread across the central and northern Rocky Mountains as Ottawa residents sought shade from record warmth. A warm Sept 23-24 night broke the previous record, with 75 degrees at night and 72 in 1930, while rain and scattered showers touched areas from the Great Lakes to Texas Panhandle and snow mixed in at Butte and Ely reducing visibility. In Charlotte a Park Road Elementary playground hype with hula hoops led to a ban after 500 students showed no objections. In Jefferson City a minor street crash produced police involvement as a police traffic officer and his wife, a city officer, were among the occupants.
