 On this day...
    Weather data after 1990 is PARTIAL. For more current
    weather history, go to the National Climate Data Center
    website at www.ncdc.noaa.gov
    In 1869 A second great windstorm in three days struck Vermont and
            New York blowing railroad trains off their tracks.
    In 1900 An unusual tornado outbreak in the Lower Mississippi
            Valley resulted in 73 deaths and extensive damage across
            Arkansas, Mississippi and Tennessee.
    In 1914 The high temperature of 28 degrees at Atlanta GA was
            their earliest daily high below the freezing mark.
    In 1979 A blizzard struck Cheyenne WY producing a record
            19.8 inches of snow in 24 hours, and a record total of
            25.6 inches, in 40 hours.  Strong winds created huge
            drifts stopping all transportation.  (19th-21st)
    In 1981 At Atlanta's Hartsfield International Airport, a weak tornado
            tore an engine off a taxiing DC-8.
    In 1987 Blustery northwest winds created snow squalls in the
            Great Lakes Region and the Upper Ohio Valley.  Snowfall
            totals in Upper Michigan ranged up to 18 inches at
            Paradise.  Lake City MI received 9.5 inches of snow in
            four and a half hours.  Up to a foot of snow blanketed
            Oswego County in western New York State.  Strong winds
            produced wind chill readings as cold as 22 degrees below
            zero at Duluth MN.
    In 1988 Thunderstorms developing ahead of a fast moving cold
            front produced severe weather in the Upper Ohio Valley
            and the Middle Atlantic Coast Region during the afternoon
            and early evening.  Thunderstorm winds gusted to 69 mph
            at Kennedy Airport in New York City, and winds along the
            cold front itself gusted to 56 mph at Cincinnati OH.  The
            same storm produced snow in Kansas, Missouri and
            Illinois, with eight inches reported at Rolla MO.
    In 1989 Low pressure brought thunderstorms and high winds to the
            northeastern U.S.  There were 193 reports of damaging
            winds with thunderstorms in New York State, Pennsylvania
            and New Jersey.  Tornadoes touched down near Seaside Park
            NJ and McAlevys Port PA.  Winds with thunderstorms gusted
            to 92 mph at Poughkeepsie NY, and reached 94 mph at
            Newburgh NY.  High winds in the Washington D.C. area,
            gusting to 73 mph, resulted in one death.
    In 2022 (17th-20th) The Lake Effect Snow Machine off of Lake Erie
            was in overdrive, dumping huge amounts of snow in the
            Buffalo, New York, and adjacent areas. Thundersnow was
            observed in several areas, with snowfall rates of over 3
            inches an hour at times. Four day record storm totals were
            nearly 7 feet in some areas. Numerous vehicles were left
            abandoned on roads, plus travel bans and emergencies were
            declared. Even mass transit (buses, Amtrak, etc.) canceled
            service, and an NFL game was moved to Detroit, Michigan.
            Whiteout conditions existed in many areas with blizzard
            conditions. Some structures collapsed due to the heavy
            weight of the wet snow on the roofs. Tragically, some
            people suffered fatal heart attacks from shoveling snow.
