    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 1717 What was perhaps the greatest snow in New England history   
               commenced on this date.  During a ten day period a series   
               of four snowstorms dumped three feet of snow upon Boston,   
               and the city was snowbound for two weeks.  Up to six feet   
               of snow was reported farther to the north, and drifts   
               covered many one story homes.   
       In 1969 A record snowstorm in Maine came to an end.  Two to four   
               feet of snow buried southern and central Maine, with a   
               state record of 57 inches reported at West Forks.  Drifts   
               covered many single story homes, and the weight of the   
               snow collapsed many roofs.  Two to four feet of snow also   
               buried northeastern Vermont and northeastern   
               Massachusetts.  In New Hampshire, Mount Washington NH   
               reported 97.8 inches of snow, a record storm total for   
               New England.  (24th-28th)   
       In 1986 (24th-28th) Record warmth covered much of the western US:   
               Phoenix, Arizona was at 94; Los Angeles, California was at   
               94 (24th); San Francisco, California was at 81 (26th).   
       In 1987 A storm spread heavy snow into the Central High Plains   
               Region, and produced severe thunderstorms in the Southern   
               Plains.  Snowfall totals in western Nebraska ranged up to   
               19 inches at Sydney.  Severe thunderstorms in Oklahoma   
               produced baseball size hail at Stringtown and Atoka.  A   
               storm in the eastern U.S. produced heavy rain over the   
               Carolinas, and heavy snow in the southern Appalachians   
               and piedmont region.  Five inches of rain left four feet   
               of water in the streets of Greenville SC.  Snowfall   
               totals in southwestern Virginia ranged up to 20 inches.   
       In 1988 Thunderstorms along a cold front produced heavy rain   
               in southern California, with 2.52 inches reported in   
               Ventura County.  Strong winds accompanying the rain   
               gusted to 55 mph in the Tehachapi Mountains.  Rapid City   
               SD established a February record with an afternoon high   
               of 75 degrees.   
       In 1989 Rain and snow prevailed in the southeastern U.S.  Up to   
               eight inches of snow blanketed north central Tennessee,   
               and snowfall totals in western North Carolina ranged up   
               to 14 inches at Mount Mitchell.   
       In 1990 A winter storm produced heavy snow in southeastern   
               Colorado, with 12 inches reported at Lamar.  The same   
               storm produced severe thunderstorms over the Southern   
               High Plains, with wind gusts to 93 mph reported at the   
               White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico.  Low pressure   
               brought high winds to the Prince William Sound area of   
               Alaska.  Big River Lakes reported wind gusts to 92 mph.
