       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 1893 Thunder and lightning accompanied sleet and snow at Saint   
               Louis MO during the evening hours, even though the   
               temperature was just 13 degrees above zero.    
       In 1951 The greatest ice storm of record in the U.S.   
               produced glaze up to four inches thick from Texas to   
               Pennsylvania causing twenty-five deaths, 500 serious   
               injuries, and 100 million dollars damage.  Tennessee was   
               hardest hit by the storm.  Communications and utilities   
               were interrupted for a week to ten days. The temperature   
               at Taylor Park Dam plunged to 60 degrees below zero, a   
               record for the state of Colorado.   
       In 1985 Snow, sleet and ice glazed southern Tennessee and   
               northern sections of Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama.   
               The winter storm produced up to eleven inches of sleet   
               and ice in Lauderdale County AL, one of the worst storms   
               of record for the state.  All streets in Florence AL were   
               closed for the first time of record.  (1st-2nd)    
       In 1986 (1st-5th) Dense fog and freezing drizzle brought ice buildups   
               of 5 to 8 inches across central North Dakota. About 6000   
               homes lost power.   
       In 1987 A storm in the Pacific Northwest produced wind gusts to   
               100 mph at Cape Blanco OR, and up to six inches of rain   
               in the northern coastal mountain ranges.   
       In 1988 Thirty cities in the eastern U.S. reported new record   
               high temperatures for the date, including Richmond VA   
               with a reading of 73 degrees.  Thunderstorms in southern   
               Louisiana deluged Basile with 12.34 inches of rain.   
               Arctic cold gripped the north central U.S.  Wolf Point MT   
               reported a low of 32 degrees below zero.   
       In 1989 While arctic cold continued to invade the central U.S.,   
               fifty-four cities in the south central and eastern U.S.   
               reported new record high temperatures for the date.   
               Russell KS, the hot spot in the nation with a high of 84   
               degrees the previous day, reported a morning low of 12   
               above.  Tioga ND reported a wind chill reading of   
               90 degrees below zero.   
       In 1990 Thunderstorms developing in response to an upper level   
               weather disturbance produced severe weather across the   
               eastern half of Texas during the late afternoon and   
               evening.  Four persons were injured at Waco TX where   
               thunderstorms produced wind gusts to 80 mph.  Thunder-   
               storms produced wind gusts to 97 mph at Cotulla TX   
               injuring two other persons.  Golf ball size hail   
               was reported at Whitney and northeast of Whitsett.
