    Today is Monday  November 17, 2025.   
    This is the 321st day of the year, there are 44 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 1869 Southwest winds of hurricane force swept the Berkshire   
               and Green Mountains of New England causing extensive   
               forest and structural damage.   
       In 1927 A tornado cut a seventeen mile path across Alexandria and   
               southeastern Washington D.C. injuring 31 persons.  The   
               tornado struck the Naval Air Station where a wind gust of   
               93 mph is recorded.  A waterspout was seen over the   
               Potomac River ninety minutes later.   
       In 1953 The temperature at Minneapolis MN reached 71 degrees,   
               their warmest reading of record for so late in the   
               autumn.   
       In 1987 A storm in the Rockies produced 21 inches of snow at the   
               Monarch ski resort in Colorado, with 14 inches reported   
               at Steamboat Springs CO.  Early morning thunderstorms in   
               the southeastern U.S. drenched Mary Esther FL with 4.43   
               inches of rain.  Gale force winds over the Great Lakes   
               Region gusted to 49 mph at Johnstown PA.   
       In 1988 Another in a series of storms brought heavy snow to   
               the mountains of the western U.S.  Totals ranged up to   
               17 inches at Bob Scott Summit in Nevada.  Winds around   
               Reno NV gusted to 80 mph.  The Alta and Sundance ski   
               resorts in Utah received 14 inches of snow.   
       In 1989 Freezing temperatures overspread the southeastern U.S. in   
               the wake of the severe weather outbreak of the previous   
               two days.  Eight cities reported record low temperatures   
               for the date, including Gilbert AR with a reading of 8   
               degrees.  A fast moving storm blanketed the Great Lakes   
               Region and Upper Ohio Valley with snow during the night.   
               Totals ranged up to 12 inches at Pellston MI and Little   
               Valley NY.   
       In 1999 Hurricane Lenny, approached category 5 status with 150   
               mph winds, as it slammed into the northeast Caribbean.   
               The storm moved from west to east, developing a few days   
               earlier west of Jamaica...an unprecedented event.   
       In 2002 A winterlike storm hit much of New England, with New   
               Jersey receiving significant ice accumulations. At one   
               time, over 87,000 homes were without power.   
       In 2003 Thunderstorms with heavy rain and strong wind swept across   
               the Houston, TX area. Parts of Houston received as much as   
               10 inches of rain in 24 hours, with several bayous and   
               creeks overflowing causing severe flooding. Several units   
               at a Houston apartment complex lost their roofs from a   
               possible tornado (several tornadoes were observed around   
               the area). In nearby Sugarland, TX, 16 people were injured   
               in weather related auto accidents...most from the strong   
               winds blowing their vehicles off of the road.   
       In 2013 A major severe weather outbreak occurred from the Upper   
               Midwest through the Middle Mississipi Valley, into the   
               Tennessee and Ohio Valley region. Numerous reports of   
               severe weather...including tornadoes and damaging winds...   
               were noted in many areas...with some of the tornadoes and   
               damaging winds termed as "significant". Widespread damage,   
               as well as numerous injuries and fatalities occurred across   
               several states. An NFL game in Chicago was delayed by the   
               severe weather in the area. Storms were moving at nearly 80   
               in some cases...and with some of the tornadoes, there were   
               "debris balls" noted on radar. Several vehicles were also   
               overturned, due to the high winds. Preliminary data had   
               over 400 severe weather reports...and around 80 of those   
               were tornadoes. One tornado that hit Washington County,   
               was rated as an EF-4.   
       In 2014 (17th-21st) The Lake Effect Snow Machine was in high gear   
               on the eastern shore of Lake Erie. Five to more than seven   
               feet of snow (almost a years worth), piled up just south   
               and east of Buffalo, New York. Buildings collapsed under   
               the weight of the snow. At least 13 people died.
