    Today is Tuesday  December 16, 2025.   
    This is the 350th day of the year, there are 15 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 1835 New England experienced one of their coldest days of   
               record.  At noon on that bitterly cold Wednesday the   
               mercury stood at 4 below at Boston, 15 below at Norfolk   
               CT, and 17 below at Hanover NH.  The temperature at   
               Boston was 12 degrees below zero by sunset.  Gale force   
               winds accompanied the severe cold, and that night a great   
               New York City fire destroyed much of the financial   
               district.   
       In 1917 An ice jam closed the Ohio River between Warsaw KY and   
               Rising Sun IN.  The thirty foot high ice jam held for 58   
               days, and backed up the river a distance of 100 miles.   
       In 1987 A Pacific storm battered the coast of California with   
               rain and high winds, and dumped heavy snow on the   
               mountains of California.  Winds along the coast gusted to   
               70 mph at Point Arguello, and winds in the Tehachapi   
               Mountains of southern California gusted to 100 mph at   
               Wheeler Ridge.  Snowfall totals ranged up to 24 inches at   
               Mammoth Mountain.  Snow fell for two minutes at Malibu   
               Beach, and Disneyland was closed due to the weather for   
               only the second time in twenty-four years.  A winter   
               storm which began in the Southern Rockies four days   
               earlier finished its course producing snow and high winds   
               in New England.  Snowfall totals ranged up to 19 inches   
               at Blanchard ME.   
       In 1988 Fairbanks AK reported freezing rain and record warm   
               temperatures.  The afternoon high of 41 degrees was   
               43 degrees above normal.  Snow and high winds continued   
               to plague the mountains of southern California.  Mount   
               Wilson CA reported two inches of rain in six hours during   
               the early morning, and a storm total of more than 3.50   
               inches of rain.   
       In 1989 Fifty-seven cities from the Southern and Central Plains   
               to the Appalachians reported record low temperatures for   
               the date, including North Platte NE with a reading of 17   
               degrees below zero.  Squalls in the Great Lakes Region   
               produced 18 inches of snow at Syracuse NY, and 30 inches   
               at Carlisle IN.  Low pressure brought heavy snow to   
               northern New England, with 18 inches reported at Derby VT   
               and Saint Johnsbury VT.   
       In 2000 An F-4 tornado struck Tuscaloosa, AL, doing significant   
               damage to vehicles and buildings...with many injuries and   
               deaths. It was the worst Alabama December tornado since   
               1953.   
       In 2001 Barcelona, Spain received a rare snowfall; with some areas   
               getting close to 20 inches.   
       In 2002 (16th-19th) A strong storm that initially battered the   
               west coast, moved eastward, spawning heavy snow in the   
               mountains, and severe weather in several states. Flooding   
               rains, mountain snows, and strong winds brought down trees,   
               power lines, and caused havoc for vehicles on the roads,   
               with several trucks being blown over. San Franscisco got   
               over 2 inches of rain (16th), while Los Angeles got 2   
               inches of rain in just 2 hours. Snow was measured by the   
               yard in the Sierra Mountains. As the storm got to the   
               central and southern plains, severe weather erupted, with   
               several reports of tornadoes, severe thunderstorms, and   
               Flash Flooding. A tornado did extensive damage 9 miles   
               west of Monett, MO. (17th) Several tornadoes also occurred   
               across Arkansas, including an F-3 tornado from near Hamlet   
               to Enola in Faulkner County, killing one woman. Portions   
               of southeast Arkansas got over 8 inches of rain (18th).   
               Another tornado hit a Wal-Mart store at Newton, MS, near   
               Jackson, injuring 70 people (19th).   
       In 2011 Tropical Storm Washi pummeled the Phillippines, killing   
               over 650 people. In some areas, over 8 inches of rain   
               fell in just 24 hours, causing massive flooding and   
               mudslides.
