    Today is Friday  December 19, 2025.   
    This is the 353rd day of the year, there are 12 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 Continental Army moved into encampment at   
               Valley Forge amidst stormy winds and piercing cold.   
               A relatively moderate winter followed.   
       In 1924 The Riverside Ranger Station in Yellowstone Park WY   
               reported a low of 59 degrees below zero, a December   
               record for the U.S.   
       In 1957 A tornado, 200 yards in width, killed two persons along   
               its 15-mile path from near Waldo to near Bueana Vista in   
               southwestern Arkansas.  People from one house were   
               carried 250 yards, and cars were said to have been   
               carried 600 yards.   
       In 1967 A record 83 inches of snow covered the ground at   
               Flagstaff AZ.  The heavy snows inflicted great hardships   
               on reservations.   
       In 1987 Thunderstorms produced large hail and damaging winds   
               in eastern Texas and the Lower Mississippi Valley.   
               Thunderstorms produced wind gusts to 90 mph at Venus TX   
               and Providence LA.  Rain prevailed from the Southern   
               Plains to the Middle Mississippi Valley.  Small stream   
               flooding was reported around Columbia MO.   
       In 1988 Low pressure and a trailing cold front in the central   
               U.S. brought snow and high winds to parts of the Rocky   
               Mountain Region.  Winds in Colorado gusted to 67 mph at   
               La Junta.  Thunderstorms along the cold front produced   
               wind gusts to 65 mph at Kansas City MO.   
       In 1989 High winds and heavy snow plagued the northern and   
               central Rockies.  Snowfall totals in Montana ranged up to   
               12 inches at Lincoln, and wind gusts in Colorado reached   
               97 mph at Squaw Mountain.  Twelve cities in the north   
               central U.S. reported record low temperatures for the   
               date, including Dickinson ND with a reading of 26 degrees   
               below zero.  Bismarck ND was the cold spot in the nation   
               with a morning low of 35 degrees below zero.   
       In 2011 (19th through 21st). A major winter storm and blizzard   
               affected much of the southern plains, including parts   
               of Colorado, eastern New Mexico, the Texas and Oklahoma   
               panhandles, and much of Kansas. A snow drift of 10 feet   
               was reported in Springfield, Colorado...with snow totals   
               of 1 to 2 feet common in many areas. Many roads were   
               shut down, including Interstates 40 and 25 west of   
               Amarillo, Texas, and Albequerque, New Mexico, among   
               other areas, stranding many travelers.   
       In 2012 (19th-20th) A contrast in weather was across the country,   
               with winter storm and blizzard conditions across the west   
               (especially from Colorado east-northeast to the Great Lakes   
               region)...and severe thunderstorms and tornadoes across the   
               south, in portions of Arkansas and the Gulf Coast. Strong   
               winds behind the cold front affected a large area, with   
               large numbers of people without power. A 30 car pileup on   
               Interstate 35 near Fort Dodge, Iowa, during the blizzard,   
               claimed at least one life. Gusts from the severe storms in   
               Arkansas exceeded hurricane force in some places.
