    Today is Wednesday  January 27, 2016.   
    This is the 27th day of the year, there are 339 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 1772 The "Washington and Jefferson Snowstorm" occurred, when   
               each man reported 3 feet of snow at Mount Vernon and   
               Monticello.   
       In 1966 Oswego NY was in the midst of a five day lake effect   
               storm which left the town buried under 102 inches of   
               snow.   
       In 1967 Residents of Chicago IL began to dig out from a storm   
               which produced 23 inches of snow in 29 hours.  The snow   
               paralyzed the city and suburbs for days, and business   
               losses were enormous.   
       In 1987 A powerful storm moving into the western U.S. produced 13   
               inches of snow at Daggett Pass NV, and 16 inches in the   
               Cascade Mountains of Oregon.  Winds gusted to 63 mph at   
               Reno NV, and wind gusts in Oregon exceeded 80 mph.   
       In 1988 The nation got a breather from winter storms, however,   
               cold arctic air settled into the southeastern U.S.   
               Hollywood FL reported a record low reading of 39 degrees.   
       In 1989 Low pressure in north central Alaska continued to direct   
               air across northern Siberia and the edges of the Arctic   
               Circle into the state.  The temperature at Fairbanks   
               remained colder than 40 degrees below zero for the eighth   
               day in a row.  Lows of 68 below at Galena, 74 below at   
               McGrath, and 76 below at Tanana, were new records for the   
               date.  Wind chill readings were colder than 100 degrees   
               below zero.   
       In 1990 Another in a series of cold fronts brought high winds to   
               the northwestern U.S., and more heavy snow to some of the   
               higher elevations.  The series of vigorous cold fronts   
               crossing the area between the 23rd and the 27th of the   
               month produced up to 60 inches of snow in the Cascade   
               Mountains of Washington State.   
       In 2000 After 1078 days without measurable snowfall, Little Rock   
               (and Arkansas) finally made up for lost time...getting   
               large amounts of snow. I measured 6 inches here in 5 hours.   
               The last time Little Rock had measurable snow was Feb. 13,   
               1997...nearly 3 years before.
