       In 1773 The memorable "Cold Sabbath" in New England history.   
               Many persons froze extremities while going to church.   
       In 1936 Although heat and dust prevailed in the spring and   
               summer, early 1936 brought record cold to parts of the   
               U.S.  Sioux Center IA reported 42 inches of snow on the   
               ground, a state record.  (20th-22nd)   
       In 1986 A twelve day siege of heavy rain and snow, which produced   
               widespread flooding and mudslides in northern and central   
               California, finally came to an end.  The storm caused   
               more than 400 million dollars property damage.  Bucks   
               Lake, located in the Sierra Nevada Range, received 49.6   
               inches of rain during the twelve day period.   
       In 1987 A storm moving northeastward out of the Gulf of Mexico   
               began to spread heavy snow across the Middle Atlantic   
               Coast Region.  Thunderstorms in northern Florida produced   
               wind gusts to 65 mph in Alachua County.    
       In 1988 Dry weather prevailed across the nation, with windy   
               conditions from the Central Rockies to northern New   
               England.  Winds gusted to 58 mph at Cleveland OH,   
               and reached 63 mph at Erie PA.  Winds in the Central   
               Rockies gusted to 120 mph at Mines Peak CO and Rendezvous   
               Peak WY.   
       In 1989 Strong northwesterly winds ushering cold arctic air into   
               the north central U.S. produced snow squalls in the Great   
               Lakes Region, with heavy snow near Lake Michigan.  Totals   
               in northwest Indiana ranged up to 24 inches at Gary, and   
               up to 16 inches buried northeastern Illinois.   
       In 1990 Thunderstorms developing along and ahead of a cold front   
               produced severe weather from southern Mississippi to   
               North Carolina.  One thunderstorm spawned a tornado just   
               prior to dawn which touched down near Opp AL injuring ten   
               persons and causing half a million dollars damage.   
               Thunderstorm winds injured four persons south of Troy AL,   
               and five people at Columbus GA.  Thunderstorm winds   
               gusted to 76 mph at Dothan AL.
