       Final day of meterological winter in a leap year.   
       In 1748 The heaviest snow of the "Winter of the Deep Snow" in New   
               England came to an end.  Coastal Salem was left with more   
               than thirty inches of snow on the ground.   
       In 1964 Thompson Pass AK finished the month with 346.1 inches of   
               snow, a record monthly total for the state of Alaska.   
       In 1988 "Leap Day" proved to be a wet one for southern   
               California, with 4.76 inches of rain reported at Tommys   
               Creek in Ventura County.  February went out like a lamb   
               across much of the rest of the nation.  Sixteen cities in   
               the central and western U.S. reported record high   
               temperatures for the date.    
       In 2012 During the early morning hours, tornadoes ripped across   
               southern Missouri and southern Illinois. An EF4 tornado   
               blased through Harrisburg, Illnois, before daybreak,   
               killing 6 people. Shortly after midnight, a few hours   
               before the EF4 tornado, an EF2 tornado tracked through   
               Highway 76, the main tourist strip, in Branson, Missouri.   
               The entertainment district was hit, with at least 35   
               people injured, and several places damaged or destroyed.
