    Today is Saturday  November 3, 2012.   
    This is the 308th day of the year, there are 58 days left.   
      
    On this day...   
       In 1890 The temperature at Los Angeles CA reached 96 degrees,   
               a November record for 76 years.   
       In 1927 Somerset VT was deluged with 8.77 inches of rain to   
               establish a 24 hour record for the state.  (3rd-4th)   
       In 1961 A rare November thunderstorm produced snow at Casper WY.   
               (3rd-4th)   
       In 1987 Twenty-one cities, mostly in the Ohio Valley, reported   
               record high temperatures for the date.  The afternoon   
               high of 80 degrees at Columbus OH was their warmest   
               reading of record for so late in the season.  Showers and   
               thundershowers associated with a tropical depression   
               south of Florida produced 4.28 inches of rain at   
               Clewiston in 24 hours.   
       In 1988 A sharp cold front brought about an abrupt end to "Indian   
               Summer" in the north central U.S.  Up to a foot of snow   
               blanketed Yellowstone Park WY, and winds in the mountains   
               near the Washoe Valley of southeastern Wyoming gusted to   
               78 mph.  Unseasonably warm weather continued in the south   
               central U.S.  Del Rio TX tied Laredo TX and McAllen TX   
               for honors as the hot spot in the nation with a record   
               warm afternoon high of 91 degrees.   
       In 1989 Cold weather prevailed in the central U.S.  Six cities in   
               Texas, Minnesota, and Michigan, reported record low   
               temperatures for the date.  The low of 7 above zero at   
               Marquette MI was their coldest reading of record for so   
               early in the season.   
       In 2000 Sydney, Austrailia was pummeled by golfball sized hail.   
       In 2002 Dense Fog caused a pileup of over 200 vehicles near   
               Long Beach, California. Rescue personnel had to cut many   
               victims from the wreckage of their crushed vehicles.
