 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 1895 A big Gulf snowstorm produced six inches at Brownsville
            TX and Mobile AL, 15 inches at Galveston TX, and
            24 inches of snow at Rayne LA in 24 hours.  Snow fell at
            the very mouth of the Mississippi River.  Houston TX
            received 22 inches of snow, and nine inches blanketed New
            Orleans LA. 
    In 1936 The temperature at Parshall ND plunged to 60 degrees
            below zero to establish a state record.  On the 6th of
            July that same year the temperature at Steele ND hit 121
            degrees, also a state record.
    In 1982 An intense cyclone off the Atlantic coast capsized a
            drilling rig killing 84 persons, and sank a Soviet
            freighter resulting in 33 more deaths.  The cyclone
            produced 80 mph winds which whipped the water into waves
            fifty feet high.
    In 1987 A storm crossing the central U.S. produced severe
            thunderstorms which spawned tornadoes in Louisiana and
            Mississippi.  Tornadoes injured four persons at Pierre
            Pass LA, three persons at Tangipahoa LA, two persons at
            Lexie MS and two persons at Nicholson MS.  Thunderstorm
            winds gusting to 100 mph killed one person south of
            Sulphur LA.  Jackson MS was drenched with 1.5 inches
            of rain in ten minutes.
    In 1988 Low pressure brought heavy snow to parts of Michigan,
            with 11 inches reported at Rogers City.  A cold front
            crossing the Northern Rockies produced wind gusts to
            74 mph at Livingston MT, and created blizzard conditions
            in Idaho.
    In 1989 Thirty-seven cities in the southeastern U.S. reported
            record high temperatures for the date.  The afternoon
            high of 80 degrees at Atlanta GA was a February record.
            Highs of 79 at Chattanooga TN, 84 at Columbia SC and
            85 at New Orleans LA equalled February records.
    In 1990 Snow, sleet and freezing rain along an arctic cold front
            prevailed from the north central U.S. to the Northern
            Atlantic Coast Region.  High winds created near blizzard
            conditions in southern Wyoming, closing Interstate 80,
            while up to eleven inches of snow fell across central
            Minnesota.  Heavy snow also blanketed the Northern
            Atlantic Coast States, with 10 inches of snow reported at
            Buffalo NY and Mount Washington NH.  Freezing rain over
            southern New England knocked out electricity to more than
            10,000 homes in the western suburbs of Boston MA.
