    Today is Sunday  October 28, 2012.   
    This is the 302nd day of the year, there are 64 days left.   
      
    On this day...   
       In 1936 The temperature at Layton NJ dipped to 9 above zero to   
               establish a state record for the month of October.   
       In 1971 A severe early season blizzard raged across the Plateau   
               Region and Rocky Mountain Region.  Heavy snow blocked   
               railroads and interstate highways, and record cold   
               accompanied the storm.  Lander WY received 27 inches of   
               snow, and the temperature at Big Piney WY plunged to   
               15 degrees below zero.   
       In 1987 Thunderstorms over the San Joaquin Valley of California   
               produced 0.75 inch of rain in thirty minutes at   
               Placerville, and caused numerous power outages due to   
               lightning.  Rain began to diminish in the northeastern   
               U.S., but some flooding continued in Vermont, eastern New   
               York State and northern New Jersey.  One inch rains in   
               Vermont clogged culverts and sewers with fallen leaves,   
               resulting in erosion of dirt roads.   
       In 1988 Arctic cold invaded the north central U.S.  Valentine NE   
               dipped to 8 degrees, and Cutbank MT reported a morning   
               low of one degree above zero.  The temperature at Estes   
               Park CO dipped to 15 degrees, but then soared thirty   
               degrees in less than thirty minutes.   
       In 1989 A storm crossing the western U.S. produced 10 to 20   
               inches of snow across northern and central Wyoming, with   
               22 inches reported at Burgess Junction.  Seven cities in   
               the Lower Ohio Valley and the Upper Great Lakes Region   
               reported record high temperatures for the date as   
               readings again warmed into the 70s.  Alpena MI reported   
               a record high of 75 degrees.
