    Today is Thursday  February 18, 2016.   
    This is the 49th day of the year, there are 317 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 1921 (18th-19th) Little Rock, Arkansas got 11.6 inches of snow   
               over 2 days, and some places in the northwest and north got   
               over 20 inches.   
       In 1899 While much of the central and eastern U.S. was recovering   
               from the most severe cold wave of modern history, the   
               temperature at San Francisco soared to 80 degrees to   
               establish a record for month of February.    
       In 1959 Some of the higher elevations of California were in the   
               midst of a five day storm which produced 189 inches of   
               snow, a single storm record for North America. (13th-19th)   
       In 1987 A small but intense low pressure system combined with   
               northerly upslope winds to produce 8 inches of snow in   
               five hours at Meeteetsie, located southeast of Cody WY.   
       In 1988 Thunderstorms soaked the Central Gulf Coast Region with   
               heavy rain.  Totals in southern Louisiana ranged up to   
               8.50 inches near the town of Ridge, with 6.55 inches at   
               Plaguemine.  Thunderstorms in northern Florida drenched   
               Apalachicola with 5.41 inches of rain in 24 hours, and   
               produced wind gusts to 75 mph at Mayo.   
       In 1989 Low pressure off the coast of North Carolina brought   
               freezing rain and heavy snow to Virginia and the   
               Carolinas.  Snowfall totals in Virginia ranged up to   
               18 inches at Franklin.  Freezing rain reached a thick-   
               ness of two inches around Charlotte NC.   
       In 1990 An intense but slow moving Pacific storm worked its way   
               across Utah over a two day period.  The storm blanketed   
               the valleys with 4 to 12 inches of snow, and produced up   
               to 42 inches of snow in the mountains.  Heavy snow also   
               fell across northern Arizona.  Williams received 22   
               inches of snow, and 12 inches was reported along the   
               south rim of the Grand Canyon.   
       In 2000 The second tornado outbreak in 5 days struck parts of   
               Arkansas, with Benton, to the southwest of Little Rock,   
               suffering heavy damage; but amazingly only minor injuries.
