    Today is Thursday  September 27, 2012.   
    This is the 271st day of the year, there are 95 days left.   
      
    On this day...   
       In 1816 A black frost over most of New England kills unripened   
               corn in the north resulting in a year of famine.   
       In 1959 A tornado 440 yards in width traveled 20 miles from near   
               Hollow OK to western Cherokee County KS.  Although a   
               strong tornado, it was very slow moving, and gave a   
               tremendous warning roar, and no one was killed.   
       In 1970 Afternoon highs of 103 degrees at Long Beach CA and   
               105 degrees at the Los Angeles Civic Center were the   
               hottest since September records were established in 1963.   
               Fierce Santa Ana winds accompanying the extreme heat   
               resulted in destructive fires.   
       In 1985 A record early season snowstorm struck the Central High   
               Plains Region.  The storm left up to nineteen inches of   
               snow along the Colorado Front Range, and as much as a   
               foot of snow in the plains.   
       In 1987 While those at the base of Mount Washington NH enjoyed   
               sunny skies and temperatures in the 70s, the top of the   
               mountain was blanketed with 4.7 inches of snow, along   
               with wind gusts to 99 mph, and a temperature of   
               13 degrees.  Severe thunderstorms developed along a cold   
               front in the south central U.S.  A thunderstorm west of   
               Noodle TX produced golf ball size hail and wind gusts to   
               70 mph.   
       In 1988 Thunderstorms developing ahead of a cold front produced   
               large hail in southeast Wyoming during the afternoon,   
               with tennis ball size hail reported at Cheyenne.  Strong   
               winds ushering the cold air into the north central U.S.   
               gusted to 59 mph at Lander WY.   
       In 1989 Freezing temperatures were reported in the Great Lakes   
               Region and the Ohio Valley.  Houghton Lake MI reported a   
               record low of 21 degrees.  Thunderstorms in the western   
               U.S. produced wind gusts to 50 mph at Salt Lake City UT,   
               and wind gusts to 58 mph at Cody WY.
