    Today is Tuesday  February 9, 2016.   
    This is the 40th day of the year, there are 326 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 1933 The temperature at Moran WY, located next to Teton   
               National Park, plunged to 63 degrees below zero to   
               establish a state record.  The temperature at the   
               Riverside Ranger Station in Montana dipped to 66 below   
               zero to establish a record for the state, and a record   
               for the nation which stood until 1954.   
       In 1934 The mercury dipped to 51 degrees below zero at Vanderbilt   
               to establish a record for the state of Michigan.  The   
               temperature at Stillwater plunged to 52 degrees below   
               zero to establish a record for the state of New York.   
       In 1987 A storm off the Atlantic coast produced high winds   
               and heavy snow in the northeastern U.S., with blizzard   
               conditions in eastern Massachusetts.  Wind gusted to   
               80 mph and 23.4 inches of snow produced drifts eight feet   
               high at Cape Cod MA.  It was the worst blizzard in thirty   
               years for the Cape Cod area.  Winds in some of the   
               mountains and ridges of the Appalachian Region gusted to   
               100 mph.   
       In 1988 Arctic cold invaded the north central U.S.  Alliance NE   
               plunged from 44 degrees to 12 above in just two hours,   
               and Mobridge SD reported a wind chill of 64 degrees below   
               zero.  Winds along the eastern slopes of the Rockies   
               gusted to 90 mph at Cheyenne WY, and reached 96 mph at   
               Boulder CO.    
       In 1989 A winter storm continued to bring rain and snow to   
               southern California.  Snowfall totals ranged up to   
               18 inches at Olancha, with three inches at Palmdale.   
       In 1990 Thunderstorms developing ahead of a cold front erupted   
               over eastern Texas late in the morning, and produced   
               severe weather as they swept across the southeastern   
               states.  Early evening thunderstorms spawned a tornado   
               which injured one person at Nat TX, and produced tennis   
               ball size hail which cuased more than half a million   
               dollars damage around Shreveport LA.   
       In 1994 (9th-11th) A statewide ice storm struck Arkansas, with   
               the most damage in south and east Arkansas. Some areas   
               were without electricity for 2 weeks.   
       In 2001 Over the next week, huge amounts of rainfall would fall   
               across Arkansas...with many areas receiving over 6 inches   
               of rain...along with severe flooding. (9th-17th).   
       In 2002 Very strong winds affected much of the central and   
               western United States. Areas from California to Colorado   
               to the Dakotas to Nebraska to Wisconsin were affected.   
               Gusts from over 50 mph to near 100 mph were reported.   
       In 2003 While portions of Austrailia were still reeling from   
               wildfires, the remnants of Tropical Storm Beni hit near   
               Rockhampton, dropping 12 inches of rain overnight.   
       In 2015 Nearly 7 feet of snow had fallen in Boston, Massachusetts   
               since Jan. 9, 2015...making it the snowiest 30 day period   
               in history. In fact, 3 straight weekends had massive   
               winter storms, and the pattern showed no sign of changing.
