    Today is Monday  January 12, 2026.   
    This is the 12th day of the year, there are 353 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 1888 A sharp cold front swept southward from the Dakotas to Texas   
               in just 24 hours spawning a severe blizzard over the Great   
               Plains. More than 200 pioneers perished in the storm.   
               Subzero temperatures and mountainous snow drifts killed   
               tens of thousands of cattle.   
       In 1912 The morning low of 47 degrees below zero at Washta IA   
               established a state record.   
       In 1985 A record snowstorm struck portions of western and south   
               central Texas.  The palm trees of San Antonio were   
               blanketed with up to thirteen and a half inches of snow,   
               more snow than was ever previously received in an entire   
               winter season.   
       In 1987 Twenty-seven cities in the Upper Midwest reported new record   
               high temperatures for the date.  Afternoon highs of 72   
               degrees at Valentine NE and 76 degrees at Rapid City SD set   
               records for the month of January.   
       In 1988 Parts of North Dakota finally got their first snow of the   
               winter season, and it came with a fury as a blizzard raged   
               across the north central U.S.  Snowfall totals ranged up to   
               14 inches at Fargo ND, winds gusted to 65 mph at Windom MN,   
               and wind chill readings in North Dakota reached 60 degrees   
               below zero.   
       In 1989 A dozen cities in the southeastern U.S. reported record high   
               temperatures for the date as readings warmed into the 70s   
               and 80s. Fort Myers FL reported a record high of 86 degrees.   
       In 1990 Gale force winds produce squalls with heavy snow in the Great   
               Lakes Region.  Totals in northwest Pennsylvania ranged up to   
               eleven inches at Conneautville and Meadville. Barnes Corners,   
               in western New York State, was buried under 27 inches of snow   
               in two days.   
       In 2003 The Lake Effect Snow Machine was in full force (11th-12th),   
               with some parts of western New York state getting over 50   
               inches of snow (just over 4 feet) in only 2 days.   
       In 2005 Severe thunderstorms erupted along a cold front from Texas   
               northeast into Oklahoma, Missouri, and Illinois. As much   
               as a 40 degree temperature contrast was noted along the   
               front, and as it plowed into the unstable airmass ahead of   
               it, several reports of severe weather were noted. An F-2   
               tornado struck Langston and Homer, Louisiana...while an F-3   
               tornado struck Junction City and Lawson, Arkansas...killing   
               two people, and injuring many others. Flooding from heavy   
               rains indunated areas around Pine Bluff, Arkansas...and   
               there were several reports of wind damage across the area.   
               Severe weather continued in areas of Mississippi, and   
               Alabama, among others.
