    Today is Saturday  October 27, 2012.   
    This is the 301st day of the year, there are 65 days left.   
      
    On this day...   
       In 1764 A "very remarkable storm of snow with high winds"   
               produced 22 inches at Rutland in central Massachusetts.   
       In 1929 A snowstorm dumped 27 inches upon Ishpeming MI in   
               24 hours to establish a state record.   
       In 1962 An early season winter storm over New England blanketed   
               northern Maine with 7 to 16 inches of snow, and   
               southeastern New England with up to 3 inches of snow.   
               Worcester MA received a record 4.7 inches of snow.   
       In 1972 A sleeping couple in FL were awakened by rain after a   
               tornado removed the roof. They escaped as the house blew   
               away.   
       In 1987 Showers and thunderstorms produced locally heavy rain   
               from Virginia to New York State.  Fallen leaves made   
               roads and sidewalks slick, and also clogged sewers.   
               Rainfall totals of 1.55 inches at Newark NJ, 1.54 inches   
               at Harrisburg PA, 1.27 inches at Scranton PA, and 1.22   
               inches at Atlantic City NJ, were records for the date.   
       In 1988 Low pressure brought snow and gale force winds to the   
               Great Lakes Region, and snow and high winds to the north   
               central U.S.  Winds gusted to 47 mph at Lansin MI, and   
               reached 55 mph at Pierre SD.   
       In 1989 Wintry weather invaded the northwestern U.S.  A storm   
               crossing the Central Rockies produced up to 23 inches of   
               snow in the mountains east of Salt Lake City UT.  "Indian   
               Summer" continued in the Lower Ohio Valley and the Upper   
               Great Lakes Region.  Afternoon highs of 71 at Marquette   
               MI and 72 at Sault Ste Marie MI were records for the date.
