    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 1907 A storm produced a record 5.22 inches of rain in   
               24 hours at Cincinnati OH.  (12th-13th)   
       In 1951 The state of Iowa experienced a record snowstorm.   
               The storm buried Iowa City under 27 inches of snow.   
       In 1977 Baltimore MD received an inch of rain in eight minutes.   
       In 1987 A winter storm produced heavy snow in the Sierra Nevada   
               Range of California, and the Lake Tahoe area of Nevada.   
               Mount Rose NV received 18 inches of new snow.   
       In 1988 Unseasonably cold weather prevailed from the Plateau   
               Region to the Appalachians.  Chadron NE, recently   
               buried under 33 inches of snow, was the cold spot in the   
               nation with a low of 19 degrees below zero.   
       In 1989 Residents of the southern U.S. viewed a once in a life-   
               time display of the "Northern Lights".  Unseasonably   
               warm weather continued in the southwestern U.S.   
               The record high of 88 degrees at Tucson AZ was their   
               seventh in a row.  In southwest Texas, the temperature   
               at Sanderson soared from 46 degrees at 8 AM to   
               90 degrees at 11 AM.   
       In 1990 Thunderstorms produced severe weather from northwest   
               Texas to Wisconsin, Iowa and Nebraska during the day,   
               and into the night.  Severe thunderstorms spawned   
               59 tornadoes, including twenty-six strong or violent   
               tornadoes, and there were about two hundred other   
               reports of large hail or damaging winds.  There were   
               forty-eight tornadoes in Kansas, Nebraska and Iowa,   
               and some of the tornadoes in those three states were   
               the strongest of record for so early in the season   
               and for so far northwest in the United States.   
               The most powerful tornado of the day was one which   
               tore through the central Kansas community of Hesston.   
               The tornado killed two persons, injured sixty others,   
               and caused 22 million dollars along its 67-mile path.   
               The tornado had a life span of two hours.  Another   
               tornado tracked 124 miles across southeastern Nebraska   
               injuring eight persons and causing more than five   
               million dollars damage during its three hour life span.
