       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 1890 Saint Louis MO received 20 inches of snow in 24 hours.   
               It was the worst snowstorm of record for the St Louis.   
       In 1954 The temperature at Rio Grande City TX hit 108 degrees,   
               which for thirty years was a U.S. record for the month   
               of March.   
       In 1962 A tornado struck the town of Milton FL killing   
               17 persons and injuring 100 others.  It was the worst   
               tornado disaster in Florida history.   
       In 1973 A devastating tornado takes a nearly continuous 75 mile   
               path through north central Georgia causing more than   
               113 million dollars damage, the highest total of record   
               for a natural disaster in the state.   
       In 1987 March went out like a lion in the northeastern U.S.   
               A slow moving storm produced heavy snow in the Lower   
               Great Lakes Region, and heavy rain in New England.   
               Heavy rain and melting snow caused catastrophic   
               flooding along rivers and streams in Maine and New   
               Hampshire.  Strong southerly winds ahead of the storm   
               gusted to 62 mph at New York City, and reached 87 mph   
               at Milton MA. A dawn waterspout moved onshore at   
               Hatteras Island, North Carolina from the Atlantic   
               Ocean, causing $800,000 damage at Buxton.   
       In 1988 March went out like a lion in eastern Colorado.   
               A winter-like storm produced 42 inches of snow at Lake   
               Isabel, including 20 inches in six hours.  Fort Collins   
               reported 15 inches of snow in 24 hours.  Winds gusted   
               to 80 mph at Centerville UT.  Albuquerque NM received   
               14 inches of snow.   
       In 1989 Afternoon thunderstorms produced severe weather from   
               North Carolina to Pennsylvania.  Thunderstorm winds   
               gusted to 76 mph at Cape Henry VA.  While squalls   
               blanketed northwest Pennyslvania with up to 9 inches   
               of snow, thunderstorms in eastern Pennsylvania produced   
               golf ball size hail at Avondale.   
       In 1990 The month of March went out as it came in, like a lamb.   
               Marquette MI, which started the month with a record   
               high of 52 degrees, equalled their record for the date   
               with a reading of 62 degrees.
