    In 1817 A luminous snowstorm occurred in Vermont and New Hampshire.
            Saint Elmo's fire appeared as static discharges on roof
            peaks, fence posts, and the hats and fingers of people.
            Thunderstorms prevailed over central New England.
    In 1893 The mercury dipped to 17 degrees below zero at Millsboro DE
            to establish a state record.
    In 1972  A single storm unloaded 77.5 inches of snow at Summit MT to
            establish a state record.
    In 1982 Strong chinook winds caused severe wind damage in Boulder CO.
            Wind gusts to 118 mph was recorded on the roof of the
            Environmental Research Laboratories (ERL), and a wind gust
            to 137 mph was measured atop the roof of the NCAR building
            (in the southwest part of the city, 600 feet above ground
            level).  The high winds uprooted trees and damaged roofs.
    In 1987 A winter storm spread snow from the Southern Rockies into
            the Middle Mississippi Valley and southwestern sections of
            the Great Lakes Region, and freezing rain across Texas and

    In 1989 Strong chinook winds along the eastern slopes of the Rockies
            gusted to 90 mph near Rollinsville CO, and reached 94 mph
            near Big Timber MT.  Heavy snow blanketed parts of the Upper
            Mississippi Valley, with eight inches reported in Douglas
            County WI.
    In 1990 Twenty cities across the southeastern half of the country
            reported record high temperatures for the date. Record highs
            included 61 degrees at Williamstown PA and 85 degrees at
            Brownsville TX.  Evening thunderstorms produced large hail
            and damaging winds from eastern Texas to Mississippi.
    In 2013 A rare winter snow occurred in portions of Mississippi and
            Alabama, spreading northeast through the Appalachians, and
