    Today is Friday  December 26, 2025.   
    This is the 360th day of the year, there are 5 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 1776 George Washington crossed the ice clogged Delaware River.   
               He marched on Trenton in the midst of snow and sleet thus   
               surprising and capturing many of the British garrison.   
       In 1947 New York City received a record 26.4 inches of snow in 24   
               hours, with as much as 32 inches reported in the suburbs.   
               The heavy snow brought traffic to a standstill, and snow   
               removal cost eight million dollars.  Thirty thousand   
               persons were called upon to remove the 100 million tons   
               of snow.  The storm claimed 27 lives.  (26th-27th)   
       In 1983 Miami FL established a December record with a morning low   
               of 33 degrees.  Just three days earlier, and again three   
               days later, record warm temperatures were reported in   
               Florida, with daytime highs in the 80s.   
       In 1987 Freezing rain plagued parts of the south central U.S.,   
               from northwest Texas to southwest Missouri.  Southwest   
               Missouri was turned into a huge skating rink as roads   
               beacme sheets of ice.  Damage to tree limbs and power   
               lines compared to a hundred tornadoes, and half of the   
               city of Springfield was left without electricity for   
               24 hours.  Snow, sleet and ice covered the northwestern   
               two thirds of Oklahoma.  75,000 homes were left without   
               electricity as ice accumulated one to two inches in a 40-   
               mile band from Duncan to Norman to Tulsa to Miami.   
               25,000 of those homes were still without power a week   
               later.  The storm claimed the lives of seven persons.   
               (24th-27th)   
       In 1988 Low pressure produced heavy snow from North Dakota to   
               western sections of the Great Lakes Region, with up to   
               fourteen inches reported in the Chicago area.  Cold   
               arctic air hovered over the Plateau Region.  Temper-   
               atures in the Big Smokey Valley of Nevada plunged to   
               31 degrees below zero.   
       In 1989 Strong northerly winds behind an arctic cold front   
               produced snow squalls in the Great Lakes Region and   
               dangerous wind chill temperatures in the northeastern   
               U.S.  Wind chill readings as cold as 40 degrees below   
               zero were reported in New York State.
