    Today is Wednesday  January 28, 2026.   
    This is the 28th day of the year, there are 337 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 1922 Snow from the "Knickerbocker" storm in Washington, DC made   
               the Knickerbocker movie theater roof collapse, killing 96.   
       In 1963 The low of -34 degrees at Cynthiana KY equalled the state   
               record established just four days earlier at Bonnieville.   
       In 1966 A near blizzard in Arkansas dropped heavy snow statewide,   
               accompanied by strong winds. Pine Bluff, southeast of   
               Little Rock got 12.5 inches of snow; and many parts of the   
               state fell to below zero degrees.   
       In 1986 Subfreezing temperatures across central Florida were   
               eventually blamed for the collapse of the O-rings on   
               Space Shuttle Challenger...that led to its explosion   
               just over a minute after liftoff. All aboard were killed.   
       In 1987 A storm moving out of the Central Rockies into the   
               Northern Plains produced up to a foot of snow in the   
               Colorado Rockies, and wind gusts to 99 mph at Boulder CO.   
               High winds in Colorado caused 5.6 million dollars damage.   
       In 1988 Barometric pressure readings of 30.55 inches at Miami FL,   
               30.66 inches at Tampa FL, and 30.72 inches at   
               Apalachicola FL were all-time records.   
       In 1989 Nome AK reported an all-time record low reading of   
               54 degrees below zero, and the temperature at Fairwell AK   
               dips to 69 degrees below zero.  Deadhorse AK reported a   
               morning low of 49 degrees below zero, and with a wind   
               chill reading of 114 degrees below zero.  In the forty-   
               eight state area, a winter storm over Colorado produced   
               up to 15 inches of snow around Denver.   
       In 1990 Strong and gusty winds prevailed across the northwestern   
               U.S., and heavy snow continued over the mountains of   
               Oregon and Washington State.  In Idaho, Mullan received   
               seven inches of snow, and winds gusted to 65 mph   
               southeast of Burley.  Heavy rain soaked coastal sections   
               of western Oregon.  Rainfall totals of 1.20 inches at   
               Portland and 1.57 inches at Eugene were records for the   
               date.  Winds in Oregon gusting to 60 mph downed power   
               lines in Umatilla County knocking out power to more than   
               13,000 homes, just prior to the kick-off of the "Super   
               Bowl" game.   
       In 2012 (28th-29th) Heavy smoke from nearby brush fires caused   
               numerous accidents on Interstate 75 and US 441 in north   
               Florida...with both cars and trucks involved. Ten were   
               killed, with at least 18 injured.   
       In 2014 (28th-29th) Areas from southern Texas...east through the   
               Deep South...including Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama,   
               the Florida Panhandle, Georgia, the Carolinas, Virginia,   
               and into the DelMarva, experienced a rare winter storm.   
               Significant snow and ice fell in several areas.
