The heat wave of 1936 followed one of the coldest recorded winters in the same area.

In North Dakota, February temperatures at Devil’s Lake plunged to minus-21 degrees. Channel ice in the Illinois River at Peoria grew 19 inches thick.

My grandma's 2nd husband was alive then and confirmed exactly that.

They built wood frames with screen wire so they could sleep on picnic tables without mosquitoes.

Said snow that winter was up to the fenceposts.
