       In 1911 Snowless the first week of the month, Tamarack, California   
               made up for lost time gathering 390" of snow, a US record   
               month total.   
       In 1949 The temperature at San Antonio TX plunged to a record low   
               of one degree below zero.  Helena MT reached 42 degrees   
               below zero.   
       In 1949 A blizzard struck the northeastern U.S.  When the storm   
               came to an end, twenty inches of snow covered the ground   
               at Washington D.C.   
       In 1982 A snowstorm struck Missouri, Illinois and Indiana.   
               Twenty-five inches of snow at Greenville IL, located east   
               of Saint Louis, paralyzed the community.  The storm left   
               4000 motorists stranded for two days.   
       In 1987 A storm in the Pacific Northwest produced wind gusts   
               to 85 mph in Oregon, and nearly two inches of rain   
               in twelve hours in the Puget Sound area of Washington   
               State.  Ten inches of snow at Stampede Pass WA brought   
               their total snow cover to 84 inches.   
       In 1988 Thirty-one cities in the central and northeastern U.S.   
               reported new record high temperatures for the date, with   
               many occurring during the early morning hours.   
               Temperatures in western New York State reached the 60s   
               early in the day.  Strong northerly winds in the north   
               central U.S. produced wind chill readings as cold as   
               60 degrees below zero in North Dakota.   
                The barometric pressure at Norway AK reached 31.85 inches   
               (1078.4 mb) establishing an all-time record for the North   
               American Continent.  The temperature at the time of the   
               record was about 46 degrees below zero .  Severe arctic   
               cold began to invade the north central U.S.  The   
               temperature at Great Falls MT plunged 85 degrees in 36   
               hours.  Valentine NE plummeted from a record high of   
               70 degrees to zero in just nine hours.  Northwest winds   
               gusted to 86 mph at Lander WY, and wind chill readings of   
               80 degrees below zero were reported in Montana.  Sixty-   
               four cities in the central U.S. reported record highs for   
               the date as readings reached the the 60s in Michigan and   
               the 80s in Kansas.   
       In 1990 High winds in Montana on the 28th, gusting to 77 mph at   
               Judith Gap, were followed by three days of snow.  Heavy   
               snow fell over northwest Montana, with up to 24 inches   
               reported in the mountains.  An avalanche covered the road   
               near Essex with six feet of snow.  Snow and high winds   
               also plagued parts of the southwestern U.S.  Winds gusted   
               to 54 mph at Show Low AZ, and Flagstaff AZ was blanketed   
               with eight inches of snow.
