...dazzled by some of the most spectacular big-league nature found anywhere. With Puget Sound on one side and Lake Washington on the other, the city is a panorama of pleasure boaters, skyscrapers, the 1962 World's Fair Space Needle and, looming 60 miles to the southeast, the snow-peaked volcanic cone of Mount Rainier...
...region just southeast of Harrisburg, the Pennsylvania capital, looks no different than it did a year ago. The four huge cooling towers that mark the location of Metropolitan Edison's Three Mile Island nuclear plant still loom 372 ft. above the surface of the Susquehanna and catch the eye of every motorist topping the hill at Swatara and heading south on Route 283.

Up North folks were trying to decide whether to pack away mufflers and mittens after spring-in-December readings of 16° C (60° F). The most startling weather occurred in California, where downpours of almost biblical proportions caused floods, mud slides and untold havoc...
