    Today is Monday  March 14, 2016.   
    This is the 74th day of the year, there are 292 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 1870 The term "blizzard" was used for the first time to describe   
               a storm with heavy snow and high winds, that struck Iowa   
               and Minnesota.   
       In 1944 A single storm brought a record 21.6 inches of snow to   
               Salt Lake City UT.   
       In 1960 Northern Georgia was between snowstorms.  Gainesville   
               GA received 17 inches of snow during the month, and   
               reported at least a trace of snow on the ground 22 days   
               in March.  Snow was on roofs in Hartwell GA from the   
               2nd to the 29th.   
       In 1987 A powerful storm in the western U.S. produced 15 inches   
               of snow in the Lake Tahoe Basin of Nevada, and wind   
               gusts to 50 mph at Las Vegas NV.  Thunderstorms in the   
               Sacramento Valley of California spawned a tornado which   
               hit a turkey farm near Corning.   
       In 1988 Squalls in the Great Lakes Region continued to produce   
               heavy snow in northwest Wisconsin and Upper Michigan,   
               and produced up to 14 inches of snow in northeast Ohio.   
               Poplar WI reported 27 inches of snow in two days.   
       In 1989 High winds in Colorado and Wyoming gusted above 120 mph   
               at Horsetooth Heights CO.  High winds in the Central   
               Plains sharply reduced visibilities in blowing dust as   
               far east as Kansas City MO.  Winds gusting to 72 mph at   
               Hill City KS reduced the visibility to a city block in   
               blowing dust.  Soil erosion in northwest Kansas damaged   
               nearly five million acres of wheat.   
       In 1990 Fifty-three cities reported record high temperatures   
               for the date as readings warmed into the 70s and 80s   
               from the Gulf coast to the Great Lakes Region.   
               Charleston WV was the hot spot in the nation with   
               a record high of 89 degrees.  It was the fourth of five   
               consecutive days with record warm tempeatures for many   
               cities in the eastern U.S.  There were 283 daily record   
               highs reported in the central and eastern U.S. between   
               the 11th and the 15th of March.   
       In 2002 Dense fog caused a 125 vehicle pile-up on Interstate 75   
               near Catoosa, Georgia.
