Curious to know what the weather was like in Baltimore on the day you were born, or on that icy day last winter when some guy skidded into your car? Need to find out how cold it got overnight, or how much rain has fallen in the past few hours?

MarylandWeather.com has unveiled a new feature that finally puts that kind of information literally at your fingertips.

Scroll down to the lower left-hand corner MarylandWeather.com's home page. Beneath the "Did You Know" feature, you'll see a spot where you can enter any date back to 1949 (when BWI became Baltimore's official weather station). That will bring up a chart listing temperatures, precipitation and other weather information for that date.

More recent dates - since July 1996 - will also yield strip charts and detailed tables showing hourly conditions at BWI, including humidity, barometric pressure and more. Enter another city and state at the upper left-hand corner of the data page and you can access similar information for other major weather stations around the country.

The "Weather Data" feature can also be found on the "rails" alongside weather stories accessed from the MarylandWeather.com home page, and from any of the forecast pages.

We hope you find this new feature useful. Leave us a comment and let us know what you think.
