       website at www.ncdc.noaa.gov   
       In 1875 The temperature at Cheyenne WY dipped to an all-time record   
               cold reading of -38 degrees.   
       In 1888 Severe cold gripped much of the western U.S.  At Portland OR   
               the Columbia River was frozen for two weeks, and in southern   
               California temperatures dipped below freezing in some of the   
               citrus growing areas.   
       In 1963 An enormous wave surged into the lagoon at Lagoa do Santos   
               Andres, Portugal. The backwash carried 80 into the ocean.   
       In 1976 Lake effect snow squalls buried the town of Adams NY under   
               68 inches of snow.   
       In 1987 A winter storm spread heavy snow from the Central Plains into   
               the Great Lakes Region.  Heavier totals included 9 inches at   
               Sun City KS, 7 inches at Columbia MO, 11 inches at Terre   
               Haute IN, and up to 10 inches in the southern suburbs of   
               Chicago IL.   
       In 1988 A storm in the northeastern U.S. produced ten inches of snow   
               at Boston MA, and 14 inches at Worcester MA.  A winter storm   
               in the northwestern U.S. produced a foot of snow in 3 hours   
               at McCall ID.   
       In 1989 Strong winds prevailed along the eastern slopes of the   
               Rockies in Colorado.  Winds gusted to 113 mph at the Air   
               Force Academy near Colorado Springs, and reached 115 mph at   
               Boulder.   
       In 1990 A third storm in four days hit the Pacific Northwest.  Winds   
               in Oregon gusted above 100 mph at Netarts and at Oceanside.   
               Up to 8.16 inches of rain was reported around Seaside OR,   
               and the total of 4.53 inches of rain at Astoria OR was a   
               record for the date. Twelve cities in the western U.S.   
               reported record high temperatures for the date.  The high   
               of 70 degrees at Cedar City UT was a record for January.
