New Albany weather was a big part of the story in 2015

A New Albany reader sent us this review of New Albany’s 2015 weather, which prompted us to look back at some of the weather-related stories we published in 2015.

There were a lot of them. They related to local events that depended upon good weather for their success, civic projects that were affected by weather, reports of violent and extreme weather events, stories and pictures of local people and visitors enjoying New Albany’s attractions, etc.

Thank you, Joe Wilson, for prompting this look back over the past year.
