    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 1956 A whopping 367 inches of snow was measured on   
               the ground at the Ranier Paradise Ranger Station in   
               Washington.  The snow depth was a state record and the   
               second highest total of record for the U.S.   
       In 1960 A winter storm produced a narrow band of heavy snow   
               from north central Kentucky into Virginia and the   
               mountains of North Carolina.  Snowfall amounts ranged   
               from 12 to 24 inches, with drifts up to eleven feet   
               high in western Virginia.   
       In 1987 Gale force winds ushered arctic air into the north   
               central U.S.   Some places were 50 degrees colder than   
               the previous day.  Northeast winds, gusting to 60 mph,   
               produced 8 to 15 foot waves on Lake Michigan causing   
               more than a million dollars damage along the   
               southeastern shoreline of Wisconsin.   
       In 1988 A cold front brought high winds to the southwestern   
               U.S.  Winds in the Las Vegas Valley of Nevada gusted   
               to 70 mph, and one person was injured by a falling   
               tree.   
       In 1989 Twenty-two cities in the southwestern U.S. reported new   
               record high temperatures for the date.  In New Mexico,   
               afternoon highs of 72 at Los Alamos, 76 at Ruidoso, and   
               79 at Quemado, were records for March.   
       In 1990 Evening thunderstorms produced severe weather in   
               West Texas.  Thunderstorms produced wind gusts to   
               71 mph at Lubbock, and golf ball size hail was reported   
               at several other locations.  Strong thunderstorm winds   
               injured two persons north of the town of Canyon.   
       In 2012 An intense supercell thunderstorm produced 4.25 inch   
               diameter hail in Hawaii.
