    This is the 13th day of the year, there are 352 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 1886 A great blizzard struck the state of Kansas without warning.   
               The storm claimed 50 to 100 lives, and eighty percent of the   
               cattle in the state.   
       In 1888 The mercury plunged to 65 degrees below zero at Fort Keough,   
               located near Miles City MT.  The reading stood as a record   
               for the continental U.S. for sixty-six years.   
       In 1903 A wall of water (storm surge) to 40 feet rushed across parts   
               of the Society Islands in the South Pacific.   
       In 1912 The temperature at Oakland MD plunged to 40 degrees below   
               zero to establish a state record.   
       In 1987 Dry and mild weather prevailed across the country.  Nineteen   
               cities in the Upper Midwest reported record high temperatures   
               for the date, including Grand Island NE with a reading of   
               67 degrees.   
       In 1988 A fast moving cold front ushered arctic cold into the north   
               central and northeastern U.S.  Mason City IA reported a   
               wind chill reading of 51 degrees below zero, and Greenville,   
               Maine reported a wind chill of 63 degrees below zero.   
               Winds along the cold front gusted to 63 mph at Rochester NY,   
               and a thunderstorm along the cold front produced wind gusts   
               to 62 mph at Buffalo NY, along with snow and sleet.   
       In 1989 Friday the 13th was bad luck primarily for the south central   
               U.S. as an upper level weather disturbance spread a mixture   
               of snow and sleet and freezing rain across Texas and   
               Oklahoma.  Snowfall totals in central Oklahoma ranged up to   
               8.5 inches at Norman.   
       In 1990 A winter storm in the southwestern U.S. produced more than   
               twelve inches of snow in the mountains of California and   
               Nevada. In northern California, Huntington Lake was buried   
               under 40 inches of snow, and up to 20 inches was reported   
               in northeastern Nevada. Heavy rain soaked some of the lower   
               elevations of California. Gibraltar Dam CA was drenched with   
               5.33 inches of rain in two days.
