       National Weatherperson's Day   
       In 1887 Intense cold led to a train derailment over the White River   
               at Hartford, Vermont, killing 34 people. San Francisco   
               experienced its greatest snowstorm of record. Nearly four   
               inches was reported in downtown San Francisco, and the   
               western hills of the city received seven inches. Excited   
               crowds went on a snowball throwing rampage.   
       In 1987 Thunderstorms in the Southern Plains Region caused   
               flooding in parts of south central Texas.  Del Rio TX was   
               soaked with two inches of rain in two hours prior to   
               sunrise.   
       In 1988 Cold and snow invaded the southern U.S.  Roswell NM was   
               buried under 16.5 inches of snow in 24 hours, an all-time   
               record for that location.  Parts of the Central Gulf   
               Coast Region reported their first significant snow   
               in fifteen years.  Strong winds in Minnesota and the   
               Dakotas produced wind chill readings as cold as   
               75 degrees below zero.    
       In 1989 Severe cold gripped much of the nation.  Thirty cities   
               reported new record low temperatures for the date.   
               Morning lows of 9 above at Astoria OR and 27 below zero   
               at Ely NV were records for February.  In Alaska,   
               Point Barrow warmed to 24 degrees above zero, and Nome   
               reached 30 degrees.   
       In 1990 For the second time in two days, and the third time in a   
               week, high winds plagued the northwestern U.S.  Winds in   
               Oregon gusted to 60 mph at Cape Disappointment, and wind   
               gusts in Washington State reached 67 mph at Bellingham.   
               The first in a series of cold fronts began to produce   
               heavy snow in the mountains of Washington and Oregon.   
               Ten inches of snow fell at Timberline OR.    
       In 2004 A winter storm brought heavy snow to northern Arkansas,   
               an icy mix across central Arkansas, and heavy rainfall   
               across southern Arkansas. Thundersleet occurred across   
               parts of central Arkansas, but the sleet melted quickly   
               after a brief accumulation.   
       In 2008 A moderate to high risk of severe thunderstorms and   
               tornadoes covered Arkansas, with one EF-4 tornado being   
               on the ground for a record 122 miles. Fourteen people   
               died in the outbreak.
