 Today is Saturday  February 18, 2017.
 This is the 49th day of the year, there are 316 days left.

 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 1921 (18th-19th) Little Rock, Arkansas got 11.6 inches of snow
            over 2 days, and some places in the northwest and north got
            over 20 inches.
    In 1899 While much of the central and eastern U.S. was recovering
            from the most severe cold wave of modern history, the
            temperature at San Francisco soared to 80 degrees to
            establish a record for month of February. 
    In 1959 Some of the higher elevations of California were in the
            midst of a five day storm which produced 189 inches of
            snow, a single storm record for North America. (13th-19th)
    In 1987 A small but intense low pressure system combined with
            northerly upslope winds to produce 8 inches of snow in
            five hours at Meeteetsie, located southeast of Cody WY.
    In 1988 Thunderstorms soaked the Central Gulf Coast Region with
            heavy rain.  Totals in southern Louisiana ranged up to
            8.50 inches near the town of Ridge, with 6.55 inches at
            Plaguemine.  Thunderstorms in northern Florida drenched
            Apalachicola with 5.41 inches of rain in 24 hours, and
            produced wind gusts to 75 mph at Mayo.
    In 1989 Low pressure off the coast of North Carolina brought
            freezing rain and heavy snow to Virginia and the
            Carolinas.  Snowfall totals in Virginia ranged up to
            18 inches at Franklin.  Freezing rain reached a thick-
            ness of two inches around Charlotte NC.
    In 1990 An intense but slow moving Pacific storm worked its way
            across Utah over a two day period.  The storm blanketed
            the valleys with 4 to 12 inches of snow, and produced up
            to 42 inches of snow in the mountains.  Heavy snow also
            fell across northern Arizona.  Williams received 22
            inches of snow, and 12 inches was reported along the
            south rim of the Grand Canyon.
    In 2000 The second tornado outbreak in 5 days struck parts of
            Arkansas, with Benton, to the southwest of Little Rock,
            suffering heavy damage; but amazingly only minor injuries.
