    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 1935 Suffocating dust storms occurred frequently in
            southeastern Colorado between the 12th and the 25th of
            the month.  Six people died, and many livestock starved
            or suffocated.  Up to six feet of dust covered the
            ground.  Schools were closed, and many rural homes were
            deserted by tenants.
    In 1950 Timberline Lodge reported 246 inches of snow on the
            ground, a record for the state of Oregon.
    In 1956 The second heavy snowstorm in just three days hit
            Boston.  Nearby Blue Hill received 19.5 inches
            contributing to their snowiest March of record.
    In 1987 A storm in the western U.S. produced rain and snow from
            the northern and central Pacific coast to the northern
            and central Rockies.  Heavier snowfall totals included
            13 inches at Clear Creek UT, 12 inches at Snow Camp CA
            and Glacier Park MT, and 10 inches at Kayenta AZ.  Wind
            gusts reached 54 mph at Winslow AZ.
    In 1988 Seven cities in California and Nevada reported new
            record high temperatures for the date as readings
            soared into the 80s and lower 90s.  Los Angeles CA
            reported a record high of 89 degrees.  Five cities in
            south central Texas reported record lows, including
            El Paso, with a reading of 22 degrees.
    In 1989 Six cities reported new record low temperatures for the
            date as cold arctic air settled into the Upper Midwest
            for Palm Sunday, including Marquette MI with a reading
            of 11 degrees below zero.
    In 2003 (18th-20th) While a springlike storm was bringing severe
            thunderstorms and tornadoes to the lower Mississippi
            Valley, and along the Gulf Coast (tornadoes in Georgia
            killed 6, and injured over 200)...a late winter storm
            hit portions of Colorado and Wyoming with blizzard
            conditions, and over 2 feet of snow in some areas. Both
            Denver, CO and Cheyenne, WY were particularly hard hit.
