    Today is Thursday  November 1, 2012.   
    This is the 306th day of the year, there are 60 days left.   
      
    On this day...   
       In 1861 A hurricane near Cape Hatteras NC battered a Union fleet   
               of ships attacking Carolina ports, and produced high   
               tides and high winds in New York State and New England.   
       In 1966 Santa Ana winds fanned fires, and brought record   
               November heat to parts of coastal California.   
               November records included 86 degrees at San Francisco, 97   
               degrees at San Diego, and 101 degrees at the   
               international airport in Los Angeles.  Fires claimed   
               the lives of at least 16 firefighters.   
       In 1968 A tornado touched down west of Winslow AZ, but did little   
               damage in an uninhabited area.   
       In 1987 Early morning thunderstorms in central Arizona produced   
               hail an inch in diameter at Williams and Gila Bend,   
               and drenched Payson with 1.86 inches of rain.  Hannagan   
               Meadows AZ, meanwhile, was blanketed with three inches of   
               snow.  Unseasonably warm weather prevailed across the   
               Ohio Valley.  Afternoon highs of 76 at Beckley WV, 77 at   
               Bluefield WV, and 83 at Lexington KY were records for   
               November.   
       In 1988 Low pressure brought gales and locally heavy rain to the   
               northeastern U.S.  The rainfall total of 1.46 inches at   
               Newark NJ was a record for the date.  New York City was   
               soaked with more than two inches of rain.   
       In 1989 A strong cold front ushered snow and arctic air into the   
               north central U.S.  Snow whitened North Dakota and the   
               Central High Plains Region.  Up to five inches of snow   
               blanketed Denver CO.  Yellowstone Park WY was the cold   
               spot in the nation with a morning low of 4 degrees below   
               zero.   
       In 1991 In Charleston, WV visibility was 1/8 mile in smoke and   
               falling ash from brush fires that started in late October.
