    Today is Friday  January 30, 2026.   
    This is the 30th day of the year, there are 335 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 1936 Birmingham AL established a single storm record and   
               24 hour record with 11 inches of snow.  (29th-30th)   
       In 1977 The great "Buffalo Blizzard" finally abated after three   
               days.  The storm added a foot of new snow to 33 inches   
               already on the ground.  Winds gusting to 75 mph reduced   
               visibilities to near zero, produced snow drifts twenty-   
               five feet high, and kept wind chill readings 50 degrees   
               below zero.  The blizzard paralyzed the city, and caused   
               250 million dollars damage.   
       In 1987 A winter storm brought more heavy snow to the Northern   
               Atlantic Coast Region, with 13.6 inches reported at Hiram   
               ME.  January proved to be the snowiest of record for much   
               of Massachusetts.  Worcester MA reported an all-time   
               monthly record of 46.8 inches of snow.   
       In 1988 Strong southerly winds, gusting to 53 mph at Kansas City   
               MO, spread warm air into the central U.S.  Nineteen   
               cities reported record high temperatures for the date.   
               Snow and strong northwesterly winds ushered cold arctic   
               air into the north central states.  The temperature at   
               Cutbank plunged from 54 degrees to a morning low of 7   
               degrees below zero.   
       In 1989 The temperature at McGrath AK dipped to 62 degrees below   
               zero, and Fairbanks reported a reading of 51 degrees   
               below zero, with unofficial readings in the area as cold   
               as 75 degrees below zero.  The massive dome of bitterly   
               cold air began to slide down western Canada toward the   
               north central U.S.  Strong southwest winds ahead of the   
               arctic front pushed the temperature at Great Falls MT to   
               62 degrees, and gusted to 124 mph at Choteau MT,   
               overturning trucks and mobile homes and a dozen empty   
               railroad cars.   
       In 1990 A major winter storm produced heavy snow from Indiana to   
               New England.  It was the biggest storm in two and a half   
               years for eastern New York State.  Snowfall totals in the   
               mountains of Maine ranged up to 20 inches at Guilford and   
               Lovell.  Other heavy snowfall totals included 17 inches   
               at Utica NY, and 19 inches at Bethel VT, Ludlow VT, and   
               New London NH.  The storm claimed three lives in eastern   
               New York State, and four others in Vermont.   
       In 2002 A winter storm brought snow, sleet, and freezing rain to   
               portions of Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, and other   
               states...while ahead of the storm, heavy rain and severe   
               weather was the rule. Much of Oklahoma was hard hit by   
               the ice storm...while it was the worst ice storm in 120   
               years for Kansas City...where over 350,000 people lost   
               power (30th-31st).
