    Today is Sunday  March 6, 2016.   
    This is the 66th day of the year, there are 300 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 1872 A cold wave hit the East coast sending the mercury to 8   
               degrees below zero at Boston.  It was the most severe   
               March cold wave in modern history.   
       In 1900 A chinook wind blowing down the slopes of the Rockies   
               through Havre MT raised the temperature 31 degrees in   
               just three minutes.   
       In 1954 Florida received its greatest modern-day snowfall of   
               record, with 4.0 inches at the Milton Experimental   
               Station.  Pensacola equalled their 24-hour record with   
               2.1 inches of snow.   
       In 1987 Twenty-eight cities in the north central U.S. reported   
               record high temperatures for the date.  Pickstown SD   
               was the hot spot in the nation with a reading of   
               83 degrees.  The high of 71 at Saint Cloud MN smashed   
               their previous record by 21 degrees.   
       In 1988 Wintry weather developed in the Rockies and the Plateau   
               Region as arctic air swept in from the northwest.   
               Blizzard conditions in southeastern Idaho claimed the   
               lives of two teenagers.  Thunderstorms developed in   
               Utah and Idaho.   
       In 1989 A winter storm in the south central U.S. left parts of   
               Missouri and Arkansas buried under more than a foot of   
               snow.  Totals in Missouri ranged up to 16 inches at   
               Lebanon, with 14 inches at Springfield.  Totals in   
               Benton County AR ranged up to 14 inches.   
       In 1990 Colorado's strongest winter storm of the season moved   
               northeastward across the state producing 50 inches of   
               snow at Echo Lake, 46.5 inches on Buckhorn Mountain,   
               and 46 inches near the top of Coal Canyon.  Snow fell   
               at the rate of several inches per hour during the   
               height of the storm, while winds gusted above 50 mph.   
               Several hundred rush hour commuters, including the   
               state governor, were stranded in blizzard conditions   
               along Highway 36 between Denver and Boulder.  Drifts up   
               to twelve feet high had to be cleared southeast of   
               Boulder.
