    Today is Sunday  January 25, 2026.   
    This is the 25th day of the year, there are 340 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 1821 The Hudson River was frozen solid during the midst of the   
               coldest winter in forty-one years.  Thousands of persons   
               crossed the ice from New York City to New Jersey, and   
               refreshment taverns were set up in the middle of the   
               river to warm pedestrians.   
       In 1837 At 7 PM a display of the Northern Lights danced above   
               Burlington VT.  Its light was equal to the full moon.   
               Snow and other objects reflecting the light were deeply   
               tinged with a blood red hue.  Blue, yellow and white   
               streamers were also noted.   
       In 1965 Alta UT was in the midst of a storm that left the town   
               buried under 105 inches of snow establishing a record for   
               the state.   
       In 1987 The second major storm in three days hit the Eastern   
               Seaboard producing up to 15 inches of snow in Virginia,   
               Maryland and Delaware.  Up to 30 inches of snow covered   
               the ground in Virginia following the two storms.   
       In 1988 High winds created blizzard conditions in the mountains   
               of Colorado.  Winds gusted to 109 mph at Echo Lake, and   
               a wind gust to 193 mph was reported atop Mount Evans.   
               A "nor'easter" moving up the Atlantic Coast spread heavy   
               snow from the Carolinas to New England, with up to 16   
               inches reported in the Poconos of eastern Pennsylvania.   
       In 1989 Bitter cold air, coming down from Alaska, settled over   
               the Northern Rockies.  Wilson WY reports a morning low of   
               48 degrees below zero.  Thunderstorms produced severe   
               weather in the south central U.S.  One thunderstorm in   
               north central Texas spawned a tornado which injures three   
               persons at Troy.   
       In 1990 Low pressure developed explosively over east central   
               Missouri and moved into Lower Michigan producing high   
               winds and heavy snow across parts of Iowa, Illinois and   
               Wisconsin.  Wind gusts to 60 mph and up to a foot of snow   
               created near blizzard conditions in southeastern   
               Wisconsin and northern Illinois.  Wind gusts in Indiana   
               reached 76 mph at Wabash.  Thunderstorms associated with   
               the storm produced wind gusts to 54 mph at Fort Madison IA.   
               A storm to 948 millibars (about 28.00" mercury) mauled   
               Britain with winds to 120 mph.   
       In 2003 It was a wild, winter weather week across much of the U.S.,   
               with frigid temperatures and winter precipitation. The cold   
               weather even reached into south Florida. Some of the   
               morning lows during the week included 37 at Miami, FL, 36   
               at Hollywood, FL, 33 at Palm Beach, FL, 14 at Atlanta, GA,   
               2 at Nashville, TN, and 13 at Little Rock, AR. Snow fell on   
               the beaches at Cape Hatteras, NC, Virginia Beach, VA, and   
               snow was even seen at Cape Canerval, FL. Wind chills below 0   
               were common in many areas, with -60 wind chills keeping   
               skiiers off the slopes in New England. (19th-25th).   
       In 2004 (25th-26th) Severe Tropical Storm Elita formed in the   
               southwest Indian Ocean, and crossed Madagascar 3 times.
