Question
I got in a motorcycle accident on Sunday September 28, 2008 at 6:00-ish pm.  I would be so thankful if you could find out for me what the weather condition was that evening in Pittsfield Massachusetts, Zip code 01201.  I did not hit anyone, I slid on wet leaves and dropped my bike and it slid for about 100 feet.  I got hurt and so did my custom Harley.  I have to prove the weather conditions to avoid a 7 year bad driver surcharge.  I would be so thankful if you could help.
Thank you
Sara

Answer
Sara,

Unfortunately, I don't have the exact hour-by-hour weather details in our database going back that far. However, I can tell you that the high temperature in Pittsfield that day was 74, the low temperature was 63, and there was 0.39" of rain. As I said earlier, I do not know what time of day that rain occurred.
I hope this helped!

Sincerely,
