    Weather data after 1990 is PARTIAL. For more current

    website at www.ncdc.noaa.gov
    In 1890 Saint Louis MO received 20 inches of snow in 24 hours.
            It was the worst snowstorm of record for the St Louis.
    In 1954 The temperature at Rio Grande City TX hit 108 degrees,
            which for thirty years was a U.S. record for the month
            of March.
    In 1962 A tornado struck the town of Milton FL killing
            17 persons and injuring 100 others.  It was the worst
            tornado disaster in Florida history.
    In 1973 A devastating tornado takes a nearly continuous 75 mile
            path through north central Georgia causing more than
            113 million dollars damage, the highest total of record
            for a natural disaster in the state.
    In 1987 March went out like a lion in the northeastern U.S.
            A slow moving storm produced heavy snow in the Lower
            Great Lakes Region, and heavy rain in New England.
            Heavy rain and melting snow caused catastrophic
            flooding along rivers and streams in Maine and New
            Hampshire.  Strong southerly winds ahead of the storm
            gusted to 62 mph at New York City, and reached 87 mph
            at Milton MA. A dawn waterspout moved onshore at
            Hatteras Island, North Carolina from the Atlantic
            Ocean, causing $800,000 damage at Buxton.
    In 1988 March went out like a lion in eastern Colorado.
            A winter-like storm produced 42 inches of snow at Lake
            Isabel, including 20 inches in six hours.  Fort Collins
            reported 15 inches of snow in 24 hours.  Winds gusted
            to 80 mph at Centerville UT.  Albuquerque NM received
            14 inches of snow.
    In 1989 Afternoon thunderstorms produced severe weather from
            North Carolina to Pennsylvania.  Thunderstorm winds
            gusted to 76 mph at Cape Henry VA.  While squalls
            blanketed northwest Pennyslvania with up to 9 inches
            of snow, thunderstorms in eastern Pennsylvania produced
            golf ball size hail at Avondale.
    In 1990 The month of March went out as it came in, like a lamb.
            Marquette MI, which started the month with a record
            high of 52 degrees, equalled their record for the date
            with a reading of 62 degrees.
