Where was a very different atmosphere in the town this morning than yesterday.
I think some serious errors are committed by the worthy members to correct the sentence.
Pl note this is a statement not a question , therefore, it starts with 'It' not 'Where'.The correct version is
It was a very different atmosphere in the town this morning than that of yesterday.
Using Yesterday's is also incorrect as we don't use apostrophe 's with abstract nouns.
