    Today is Thursday  March 24, 2016.

    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 1912 Residents of Kansas City began to dig out from a storm   
               produced 25 inches of snow in 24 hours.  The snowfall   
               total was nearly twice that of any other storm of   
               modern record in Kansas City before or since that time.   
               A record 40 inches of snow fell during the month of   
               March that year, and the total for the winter season of   
               67 inches was also a record.  By late February of that   
               year Kansas City had received just six inches of snow.   
               Olathe KS received 37 inches of snow in the snowstorm,   
               establishing a single storm record for the state of   
               Kansas.  (23rd-24th)   
       In 1987 A winter-like storm in the central U.S. produced   
               blizzard conditions from South Dakota to western   
               Kansas.  Snowfall totals ranged up to 24 inches at   
               Neligh NE, with 19 inches at Winner SD.  Winds gusting   
               to 60 mph created twelve foot snow drifts in Nebraska   
               stranding thousands on the highways.   
       In 1988 Thunderstorms developing along a cold front produced   
               severe weather from Minnesota to northeastern Texas.   
               The thunderstorms spawned ten tornadoes, including one   
               which injured five persons near Raymondville MO.   
       In 1989 Low pressure off the coast of Virginia brought heavy   
               rain to the Middle Atlantic Coast States, and heavy   
               snow to the Northern Appalachians.  Cape Hatteras NC   
               was soaked with 5.20 inches of rain in 24 hours, and   
               snowfall totals in Vermont ranged up to 12 inches.   
               Winds gusted to 52 mph at New York City.   
       In 1990 The storm system which produced heavy snow in the Lower   
               Missouri Valley the previous day, spread heavy snow   
               across parts of the Upper Ohio Valley and the Middle   
               Atlantic Coast Region.  Snowfall totals of 2.2 inches   
               at Philadelphia PA and 2.4 inches at Atlantic City NJ   
               were records for the date.  Up to six inches of snow   
               blanketed southern Ohio.  In the Middle Atlantic Coast   
               Region, snow coated the blossoms of cherry trees which   
               had bloomed in 80 degree weather the previous week.
