    Today is Saturday  October 4, 2025.   
    This is the 277th day of the year, there are 88 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 1777 The Battle of Germantown was fought in a morning fog that   
               grew more dense with the smoke of battle, causing great   
               confusion.  Americans firing at each other contributed to   
               the loss of the battle.   
       In 1869 A great storm struck New England.  The storm reportedly   
               was predicted twelve months in advance by a British   
               officer named Saxby.  Heavy rains and high floods plagued   
               all of New England, with strong winds and high tides over   
               New Hampshire and Maine.  Canton CT was deluged with   
               12.35 inches of rain.   
       In 1969 Denver CO received 9.6 inches of snow.  October of that   
               year proved to be the coldest and snowiest of record for   
               Denver, with a total snowfall for the month of   
               31.2 inches.   
       In 1986 Excessive flooding was reported along the Mississippi   
               River and all over the Midwest, from Ohio to the Milk   
               River in Montana.  In some places it was the worst   
               flooding of record. During heavy rains, a motorist was   
               killed near Rankin, Texas after her car was swept over   
               a mile through rushing water.   
       In 1987 A storm brought record snows to the northeastern U.S.   
               Snowfall totals ranged up to 21 inches at North   
               Springfield VT.  It was the earliest snow of record for   
               some locations.  The storm claimed 17 lives, in central   
               New York State injured 332 persons, and in Vermont caused   
               seventeen million dollars damage.  The six inch snow at   
               Albany NY was their earliest measurable snow in 117 years   
               of records. Southern California continued to "shake and   
               bake". An earthquake was reported during the morning, the   
               second in a matter of days, and during the afternoon,   
               temperatures soared well above 100 degrees.  Highs of 100   
               degrees at San Francisco, and 108 degrees at Los Angeles   
               and Santa Maria, were October records.  San Luis Obispo   
               was the hot spot in the nation with a high of 111 degrees.   
       In 1988 Temperatures dipped below freezing in the north central   
               U.S.  Five cities in North Dakota and Nebraska reported   
               record low temperatures for the date, including Bismarck   
               ND with a reading of 17 degrees above zero.  Low pressure   
               brought snow and sleet to parts of Upper Michigan.   
       In 1989 Unseasonably cold weather continued in the north central   
               U.S., with freezing temperatures reported across much of   
               the area from eastern North Dakota to Michigan and   
               northwest Ohio.  Thirteen cities reported record low   
               temperatures for the date, including Saint Cloud MN,   
               which was the cold spot in the nation with a morning low   
               of 19 degrees.   
       In 2011 A massive dust storm moved through Arizona, about 20 miles   
               north of Tucson, causing a chain reaction multiple vehicle   
               crash. Minimal visibility was reported on Interstate 10,   
               with at least one person killed, and two sustaining   
               critical injuries.   
       In 2013 While severe thunderstorms and tornadoes were out ahead   
               of a strong cold front in Iowa and east Nebraska...a   
               massive blizzard was raging in parts of Wyoming, west   
               Nebraska, and the Dakotas. Wayne, Nebraska was hit by an   
               EF-4 tornado.
