    Today is Monday  February 16, 2026.   
    This is the 47th day of the year, there are 318 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 1899 Washington D.C. received 1.26 inches of rain in six hours   
               atop a snow cover more than 30 inches deep making it the   
               soggiest day of record.   
       In 1903 The temperature at Pokegama Dam MN plunged to 59 degrees   
               below zero to establish a state record.    
       In 1943 Record cold prevailed in the northeastern U.S.   
               The temperature plunged to 43 degrees below zero at   
               Concord NH, and to 39 below at Portland ME.  The morning   
               low of 32 degrees below zero at Falls Village CT   
               established a state record, yet the afternoon high that   
               day was 20 degrees above zero.   
       In 1986 More than $10 million in damage was caused by rare   
               downslope winds in excess of 55 mph in and near Hilo,   
               Hawaii.   
       In 1987 A winter storm produced snow and ice in the Ohio   
               Valley and the Appalachian Region.  Snowfall totals in   
               Virginia ranged up to 14 inches around Farmville, while   
               Granville NC reported eight inches of sleet and ice.   
               Freezing rain in eastern North Carolina caused extensive   
               damage to power lines.  Gales lashed the coast of   
               Virginia and North Carolina.   
       In 1988 Santa Ana winds in southern California gusted to 50 mph   
               in the Rancho Cucamonga area.  Quiet weather prevailed   
               across the rest of the nation.   
       In 1989 A surge of arctic air produced all-time record high   
               barometric pressure readings of 30.80 inches at Duluth   
               MN, 30.97 inches at Chicago IL and 30.94 inches at South   
               Bend IN.  Readings of 31.00 inches at Milwaukee WI and   
               30.98 inches at Rockford IL tied their all-time records.   
               Unseasonably warm weather prevailed across the   
               southeastern U.S.  Highs of 81 degrees at Athens GA,   
               87 at Charleston SC, 85 at Macon GA, and 86 at Savannah   
               GA were records for February.   
       In 1990 Strong thunderstorms developing ahead of an arctic cold   
               front produced severe weather across the southeastern   
               U.S. between mid morning on the 15th and early evening on   
               the 16th.  Thunderstorms spawned thirteen tornadoes,   
               including one which, prior to dawn on the 16th, injured   
               eleven persons near Carrollton GA.  There were also   
               121 reports of large hail or damaging winds.  A late   
               afternoon thunderstorm on the 15th produced baseball size   
               hail at Jackson MS, and prior to dawn on the 16th, a   
               thunderstorm produced high winds which injured four   
               persons at Goodwater AL.
