WINTER WONDERLANDJanuary is known for bringing a blast of wintry weather into many parts of the

country, but no matter where you live, there are occasional weather extremes todeal with. Use the questions below to start a discussion about your extremeweather memories, as well as those of your friends and neighbors.

• What was the most extreme form of weather—snow, floods, heat—whereyou grew up? Do you have any memories of particularly severeoccurrences? How did you survive them?

• When you were younger, did the weather in your hometown ever causeschool to close? If so, what did you do on those days?

• Have you personally lived through a large-scale weather catastrophe suchas a tornado, flood or hurricane? What do you remember most about it?

• What is your favorite type of weather, and why? Would you prefer ityear-round, or just seasonally?

Hangman’s HistoryVocabulary buffs and “Wheel of

Fortune” fans may be surprised tolearn that the word-guessing gamehangman dates back to Victoriantimes. One of the earliest knownreferences can be found in the 1894book “The Traditional Games ofEngland, Scotland, and Ireland,”where a similar pastime was called“Birds, Beasts, and Fishes.”
