    Today is Tuesday  January 26, 2016.   
    This is the 26th day of the year, there are 340 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 1978 A paralyzing blizzard struck the Midwest.  One to three   
               feet of snow fell in Michigan, and 20 to 40 inches was   
               reported across Indiana.  Winds reached 70 mph in   
               Michigan, and gusted above 100 mph in Ohio.  The high   
               winds produced snow drifts twenty feet high in Michigan   
               and Indiana stranding thousands on the interstates.   
               Temperatures in Ohio dropped from the 40s to near zero   
               during the storm, where 10 inches of snow became 25 foot   
               drifts.   
       In 1983 The California coast was battered by a storm which   
               produced record high tides, thirty-two foot waves,   
               and mudslides, causing millions of dollars damage.   
               The storm then moved east and dumped four feet of snow on   
               Lake Tahoe.  (22nd-29th)   
       In 1987 A winter storm spread heavy snow across the Middle and   
               Northern Atlantic Coast States, with 18 inches reported   
               at Vineland NJ, and wind gusts to 65 mph at Chatham MA.   
               Snow cover in Virginia ranged up to thirty inches   
               following this second major storm in just one week.   
       In 1988 A snowstorm in the northeastern U.S. produced 19 inches   
               at Austerlitz NY and Stillwater NY.  A storm in the Great   
               Lakes Region left 16.5 inches at Marquette MI, for a   
               total of 43 inches in six days.   
       In 1989 Snow and high winds created blizzard-like conditions in   
               northwestern Vermont.  Winds at Saint Albins gusted to   
               88 mph.  In Alaska, the town of Cold Foot (located north   
               of Fairbanks) reported a morning low of 75 degrees below   
               zero.   
       In 1990 A winter storm spread high winds from the northwestern   
               U.S. to Wyoming and Colorado, with heavy snow in some of   
               the high elevations.  Stevens Pass WA received 17 inches   
               of snow, half of which fell in four hours.  In extreme   
               northwest Wyoming, Togwotee Mountain Lodge received 24   
               inches of snow.  Winds in Colorado gusted to 90 mph at   
               Rollinsville.   
       In 2015 (26th-27th) A major winter storm, with blizzard conditions   
               in some areas, affected much of the northeast United States   
               and New England. While New York got around 8 inches, and   
               Philadelphia got around 5 inches...areas from Long Island,   
               New York to Coastal Maine (including the Boston area), got   
               over 2 feet of snow. Just southeast toward Cape Cod, sea   
               water flowed inland during high tide on the 27th. Homes in   
               Scituate and Marshfield, Massachusetts areas were flooded.   
               Wind gusts from 30 to 70 mph causing huge drifts of snow.
