1843 - an especially cold year in the United States. 15 military outposts reported record minimum temperatures, like Fort Snelling, Fort Leavenworth, Jefferson Barracks, Fort Gibson, Fort Jesup, Fort Brooke, Fort Moultrie, Fort Monroe, Fort McHenry, Fort Columbus, Alleghany Arsenal, Watervliet Arsenal, West Point, Fort Constantine, and Benicia.

The weather is possibly a result of volcanic eruptions in Mt Etna, and an eruption on Mt St Helens

1839 in military time is 6:39, which is interesting because 639 is a fun set of threes. 1 and 8 add to 9, which means 1839 is a fun set of threes as well. If this is meaningless to you, Franz Schubert's Symphony no. 9 in C was premiered in 1839 by Felix Mendelssohn more than a decade after Schubert's death. This widely regarded and presently studied work would likely have been lost to time if it wasn't for this performance.
