 Today is Saturday  January 14, 2023.
 This is the 14th day of the year, there are 351 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 1863 The greatest snowstorm of record for Cincinnati OH began,
            and a day later twenty inches of snow covered the ground.
            That total has remained far above the modern day record
            for Cincinnati of eleven inches of snow in one storm.
    In 1882 Southern California's greatest snow occurred on this date.
            Fifteen inches blanketed San Bernardino, and even San Diego
            reported a trace of snow.
    In 1979 Chicago IL was in the midst of their second heaviest snow of
            record as, in thirty hours, the city was buried under 20.7
            inches of snow.  The twenty-nine inch snow cover following
            the storm was an all-time record for Chicago.
    In 1987 Arctic cold invaded the north central U.S.  By evening
            blustery northwest winds and temperatures near zero at
            Grand Forks ND were producing wind chill readings of 50
            degrees below zero.
    In 1988 A powerful Pacific storm produced rain and high winds in
            the western U.S.  In Nevada, a wind gust to 90 mph at Reno
            was an all-time record for that location, and wind gusts
            reached 106 mph southwest of Reno.  A wind gust to 94 mph
            was recorded at nearby Windy Hill.  Rainfall totals in
            Oregon ranged up to six inches at Wilson River.
    In 1989 A winter storm spread snow and sleet and freezing rain from
            the Middle Mississippi Valley to the northeastern U.S.
            Freezing rain in West Virginia caused fifteen traffic
            accidents in just a few minutes west of Charleston.
            Tennessee was deluged with up to 7.5 inches of rain.
            Two inches of rain near Clarksville TN left water in the
            streets as high as car doors.
    In 1990 A winter storm in the southwestern U.S. blanketed the
            mountains of southwest Utah with 18 to 24 inches of snow,
            while sunshine and strong southerly winds helped
            temperatures warm into the 60s in the Central Plains Region.
            Five cities reported record high temperatures for the date,
            including North Platte NE with a reading of 63 degrees.
    In 2002 Seven inches of snow fell in Saudi Arabia...which was hit
            days before by thunderstorms and flooding rains.
    In 2003 (13th-14th) Tropical Cyclone Ami hit Northern Fiji in the
            southern Pacific, with winds to 125 mph, gusting to 155
            mph (equivalent to a category 3 hurricane). It was the
            worst storm to hit the area since 1987.
    In 2012 (14th-15th) A wintry mix of freezing rain, sleet, and snow
            affected much of the southeast half of Arkansas, with Ice
            Storm Warnings and Winter Weather Advisories over much of
            the state. Some areas of southeast Arkansas got in excess
            of a third of an inch of ice accumulation.
