    Today is Friday  January 2, 2026.   
    This is the 2nd day of the year, there are 363 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 1910 A great flood in Utah and Nevada washed out 100 miles of   
               railroad between Salt Lake City UT and Los Angeles CA causing   
               seven million dollars damage.   
       In 1961 The coldest temperature of record for the state of Hawaii   
               was established with a reading of 14 degrees atop Haleakela   
               Summit.   
       In 1982 Lightning struck two men hunting near Tom, Oklahoma; one of   
               the men was killed.   
       In 1987 A winter storm moving up the Atlantic coast brought heavy   
               snow and high winds to the northeastern U.S.  Wind gusts   
               reached 82 mph at Trenton NJ and Southwest Harbor in Maine.   
               Snowfall totals ranged up to two feet at Salem NH and   
               Waterboro ME.   
       In 1988 "Old Man Winter" took a siesta, with snow a scarcity across   
               the nation.  For the second day in a row Alamosa CO reported   
               a record low of 31 degrees below zero.   
       In 1989 Strong and gusty winds prevailed along the eastern slopes   
               of the northern and central Rockies.  Winds gusted to 71 mph   
               at Colorado Springs CO and Livingston MT.   
       In 1990 The first winter storm of the new year and decade developed   
               in the southwestern U.S., and blanketed the northern mountains   
               of Utah with 12 to 23 inches of snow.  Up to 22 inches of snow   
               was reported in the Alta-Snowbird area.  The storm brought Las   
               Vegas NV their first measurable precipitation in four and a   
               half months, since the 17th of August.   
       In 1994 High winds buffeted the Northern Front Range of Colorado   
               during the morning hours.  Peak wind gusts included 105 mph   
               atop Squaw Mountain near Idaho Springs, and 89 mph at Fort   
               Collins. A fast moving "Alberta Clipper" brought up to six   
               inches of snow to Iowa.  Up to a foot of snow blanketed the   
               Snowy Range Mountains in southeastern Wyoming.   
       In 1997 Seven inches of rain and snow melt caused flooding in Reno,   
               Nevada...closing the famous casinos.   
       In 2004 (2nd-9th) Winter storms flooded creeks, closed highways,   
               and delayed a passenger train for hours in California. In   
               coastal Oregon, close to 25,000 customers lost power, and a   
               14 mile stretch of Interstate 5 just north of Grants Pass   
               was closed for a time due to heavy snow. Blizzard conditions   
               shut down 40 miles of Interstate 80 in remote southwest   
               Wyoming, with Jackson, WY receiving nearly 3 feet of snow.   
               Many flights over several days were cancelled due to the bad   
               weather. From the Ohio Valley into New England, snow and   
               bitter cold started the year, and this was to be the rule for   
               much of January. Many flights in the northeast were cancelled   
               over several days, with temperatures plunging into the single   
               digits, and wind wind chills nearing 50 degrees below zero or   
               lower. On the 15th, a hiker was found dead in New Hampshire's   
               White Mountains, where the temperature plunged to -44, with   
               the wind chill close to -100.   
       In 2005 (2nd-6th) The New Year started with a large scale storm   
               literally went coast to coast in its effects. It first   
               brought heavy rain to the lower elevations...and heavy   
               snow to the higher elevations (near 4 feet in some areas)   
               of Washington, Oregon, and California. The storm moved   
               east into the Rockies and into the Plains, with heavy   
               snow in the mountainous areas, and rain in the valleys.   
               The storm then interacted with a stalled front from west   
               Texas, northeast through Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, and   
               into the Ohio Valley. South of the front, heavy rain and   
               thunderstorms were widespread, causing massive flooding.   
               Thunderstorms also occurred across much of the southeast   
               United States. The flooding was more pronounced in areas   
               of the Ohio Valley region, that had received heavy snow   
               from a storm just two weeks before. Just north of the   
               front, a severe ice storm developed, with widespread   
               freezing rain, and numerous power outages. Some of the   
               hardest hit were Amarillo, Texas...Wichita, Kansas...and   
               Kansas City, Missouri. The ice storm continued up into   
               north Illinois, east into Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania,   
               and into the northeast United States. North of the ice,   
               there was heavy snowfall, with many areas getting over   
               a foot of snow.
