    Today is Tuesday  October 16, 2012.   
    This is the 290th day of the year, there are 76 days left.   
      
    On this day...   
       In 1913 The temperature in Downtown San Francisco soared to   
               101 degrees to equal their record for October.   
       In 1937 An unlikely winter-like storm produced as much as ten   
               inches of snow in Minnesota and Iowa.   
       In 1987 Ten cities in the southeastern U.S. reported record low   
               temperatures for the date.  The low of 34 degrees at   
               Augusta GA marked their third straight morning of record   
               cold.  A cold front brought showers and thunderstorms to   
               parts of the central U.S.  Lightning struck a bull and   
               six cows under a tree near Battiest OK.   
       In 1988 Late afternoon thunderstorms produced severe weather in   
               southwestern Lower Michigan and northern Indiana.  One   
               thunderstorm spawned a tornado north of Nappanee IN which   
               caused half a million dollars damage.  Six cities in   
               California reported record high temperatures for the   
               date.  The afternoon high of 100 degrees at Red Bluff CA   
               was the latest such reading of record for so late in the   
               autumn season.   
       In 1989 Heavy snow blanketed the foothills of Colorado.  Up to   
               three inches was reported around Denver.  Echo Lake was   
               buried under nineteen inches of snow.   Temperatures   
               again warmed into the 80s and lower 90s in the eastern   
               and south central U.S.  Thirteen cities reported record   
               high temperatures for the date, including Atlantic City   
               NJ with a reading of 84 degrees.
