    Today is Saturday  January 10, 2026.   
    This is the 10th day of the year, there are 355 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 1800 Savannah GA received a foot and a half of snow, and 10 inches   
               blanketed Charleston SC.  It was the heaviest snowfall of   
               record for the immediate Coastal Plain of the southeastern   
               United States.   
       In 1911 The temperature at Rapid City, South Dakota, plummeted 47   
               degrees in just 15 minutes.   
       In 1918 (10th-12th) Arkansas was hit by a massive snowstorm that   
               produced huge snow totals, just before a severe Arctic cold   
               outbreak settled in over the state. Up to 30 inches of snow   
               was reported on the ground in Calico Rock (north central   
               Arkansas) after the storm; and deep snow generally covered   
               the northern half of the state. Searcy, in central Arkansas   
               fell to -20 degrees, and Little Rock fell to -8 on the 12th.   
               The Arkansas River reportedly froze over to the point where   
               cars and wagons could cross the river on the ice.   
       In 1949 Snow was reported at San Diego CA for the first and only time   
               since 1882.  Snow was noted even on some of the beaches in   
               parts of the Los Angeles metropolitan area.  Burbank reported   
               4.7 inches, and Long Beach and Laguna Beach received one inch   
               of snow.   
       In 1975 The "Storm of the Century" hit Minnesota.  A severe blizzard   
               moved northward across the state producing up to two feet of   
               snow. High winds drove wind chill readings to 80 degrees   
               below zero, and at Duluth MN the barometric pressure dipped   
               to 28.55 inches. The storm, which claimed 35 lives, occurred   
               on the 102nd anniversary of the infamous "Pioneer Blizzard"   
               in Minnesota.   
       In 1982 The temperature at O'Hare Airport in Chicago IL plunged to   
               an all-time record of 26 degrees below zero, and high winds   
               drove the wind chill reading to 77 degrees below zero.  The   
               temperature in Downtown Chicago reached 23 degrees below   
               zero.  A week later, a second arctic surge sent the   
               temperature plunging back down to 25 degrees below zero.   
       In 1987 Bitter cold air invaded the Rocky Mountain Region, with   
               subzero readings reported as far south as Gallop NM.   
               Pocatello ID reported a record low rading of 14 degrees   
               below zero.   
       In 1988 A storm in the northwestern U.S. produced wind gusts to   
               97 mph at Netarts OR, and up to two feet of snow in the   
               mountains of Oregon.   
       In 1989 The first documented January tornado of record in Utah   
               struck the south part of Sandy.  Asphalt shingles were   
               driven one half inch into a fence. Clear skies, light   
               winds, and up to 24 inches of snow cover, allowed the   
               temperature to plunge to 45 degrees below zero at   
               Roseau MN, and to -43 degrees at Warroad MN.  The   
               afternoon high at Grand Forks ND was 16 degrees below   
               zero.   
       In 1990 Strong southerly winds ahead of a Pacific cold front helped   
               temperatures in the central U.S. soar as much as 50 degrees   
               during the day.  A total of fifty cities in the central U.S.   
               reported record high temperatures for the date, with   
               afternoon highs in the 70s reported as far north as Nebraska   
               and eastern Colorado.  Highs of 53 at Devils Lake ND, 76 at   
               Grand Island NE, 73 at Lincoln NE, and 73 at North Platte NE,   
               established records for the month of January.
