    Today is Saturday  March 19, 2016.   
    This is the 79th day of the year, there are 287 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 1935 Suffocating dust storms occurred frequently in   
               southeastern Colorado between the 12th and the 25th of   
               the month.  Six people died, and many livestock starved   
               or suffocated.  Up to six feet of dust covered the   
               ground.  Schools were closed, and many rural homes were   
               deserted by tenants.   
       In 1950 Timberline Lodge reported 246 inches of snow on the   
               ground, a record for the state of Oregon.   
       In 1956 The second heavy snowstorm in just three days hit   
               Boston.  Nearby Blue Hill received 19.5 inches   
               contributing to their snowiest March of record.   
       In 1987 A storm in the western U.S. produced rain and snow from   
               the northern and central Pacific coast to the northern   
               and central Rockies.  Heavier snowfall totals included   
               13 inches at Clear Creek UT, 12 inches at Snow Camp CA   
               and Glacier Park MT, and 10 inches at Kayenta AZ.  Wind   
               gusts reached 54 mph at Winslow AZ.   
       In 1988 Seven cities in California and Nevada reported new   
               record high temperatures for the date as readings   
               soared into the 80s and lower 90s.  Los Angeles CA   
               reported a record high of 89 degrees.  Five cities in   
               south central Texas reported record lows, including   
               El Paso, with a reading of 22 degrees.   
       In 1989 Six cities reported new record low temperatures for the   
               date as cold arctic air settled into the Upper Midwest   
               for Palm Sunday, including Marquette MI with a reading   
               of 11 degrees below zero.   
       In 2003 (18th-20th) While a springlike storm was bringing severe   
               thunderstorms and tornadoes to the lower Mississippi   
               Valley, and along the Gulf Coast (tornadoes in Georgia   
               killed 6, and injured over 200)...a late winter storm   
               hit portions of Colorado and Wyoming with blizzard   
               conditions, and over 2 feet of snow in some areas. Both   
               Denver, CO and Cheyenne, WY were particularly hard hit.
