hey, we are doing fine. its not snowing - right. well here is a little weather history trivia for this date in june 1969

Snow in June [06/11]? On this date in 1969 record snowfall covered parts of the Norther n Plains. Five inches of snow accumulated at Great Falls, Mont. while 10 inches fell on Deerfield, S.D. Snow fell as far south as Kimball, Neb., and Billings, Mont. tied a low temperature record with a temperature of 32 degrees.

oh and what about the hurricane season for 1969 - one of the most active on record. read below

The 1969 Atlantic hurricane season officially began on June 1, 1969, and lasted until November 30, 1969. These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the Atlantic basin. The season was among the most active on record, with 18 tropical cyclones, 12 of which reached hurricane status. Despite the high activity, most of the storms either stayed at sea or made landfall with minimal strength.

The most notable storm of the season was Hurricane Camille, the seventh-strongest storm recorded in the Atlantic basin and the second-strongest to make landfall in the United States. Camille made landfall near Bay St. Louis, Mississippi as a Category 5 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale, killing 256 and causing $1.4 billion ($9.2 billion in 2005 dollars) in property damage.

Other notable storms include Hurricane Francelia, which caused serious flooding in Belize that killed 100; Hurricane Inga, which lasted almost 25 days and was at the time the second longest-lasting hurricane; and Hurricane Martha, which caused flooding and landslides in Costa Rica and Panama.
