       In 1884 A three week blockade of snow began at Portland OR.   
               A record December total of 34 inches was received.   
               A severe icestorm struck central Illinois.  It coated the   
               ground with nearly two inches of glaze at Springfield.   
               The storm caused 21 million dollars damage along with   
               much hardship.  Ice was on the trees until the 4th of   
               January, and electricity was not restored until January   
               10th.   
       In 1929 An icestorm in western New York State resulted in much   
               damage and hardship.  A Buffalo report stated, "one was   
               kept awake by the breaking limbs, which snapped off with   
               a report much louder than a rifle shot." (17th-18th)   
       In 1945 (17th-18th) A typhoon in the Philippine Sea devastated   
               Task Force 38 of the US 3rd Fleet. 3 destroyers sank, and   
               146 aircraft were destroyed.   
       In 1987 A storm in the southwestern U.S. brought heavy rain   
               and heavy snow to parts of California, Nevada, Arizona,   
               Utah and New Mexico.  Charleston NV was blanketed with 12   
               inches of snow.  Lake Havasu City AZ was drenched with   
               2.26 inches of rain.   
       In 1988 Squalls brought locally heavy snow to the southeastern   
               shores of Lake Michigan.  Totals in Michigan ranged up to   
               14 inches at Harvey.  Totals in Ohio ranged up to   
               16 inches at Chardon.   
       In 1989 Twenty-one cities from Kentucky to Pennsylvania reported   
               record low temperatures for the date, including Columbus   
               OH with a reading of 12 degrees below zero.  Heavy snow   
               continued in the Colorado Rockies.  Vail received 65   
               inches of snow between the 14th and the 18th of December.   
               Steamboat Springs was buried under 74 inches, and   
               reported a total of 108 inches of snow between the 10th   
               and the 18th of the month.   
       In 2001 Two inches of snow fell in the higher elevations of   
               Maunea Kea, Hawaii.
