    Today is Thursday  November 8, 2012.   
    This is the 313rd day of the year, there are 53 days left.   
      
    On this day...   
       In 1870 The first storm warning was issued by the U.S. Signal   
               Corps Weather Service.   
       In 1943 An early season snowstorm raged across eastern South   
               Dakota and Minnesota into northern Wisconsin.  The storm   
               produced 22 inches of snow at Fairbult and Marshall MN,   
               20 inches at Redwood Falls MN, and 10.1 inches at   
               Minneapolis.  Drifts fifteen feet high were reported in   
               Cottonwood County MN.  The storm produced up to two feet   
               of snow in South Dakota, smothering a million Thanksgiving   
               Day turkeys. (6th-8th)   
       In 1953 Residents of New York City suffered through ten days of   
               smog, resulting in 200 deaths.   
       In 1966 The temperature in downtown San Francisco reached a   
               November record of 86 degrees.   
       In 1987 Thunderstorms over Texas produced locally heavy rains in   
               the Hill Country, with 3.50 inches reported at Lakeway,   
               and 3.72 inches reported at Anderson Mill.  Thunderstorms   
               over Louisiana produced hail an inch in diameter at Clay   
               and at Provencial.  Blustery northwest winds, ushering   
               cold air into western Kansas and into northwest Texas,   
               gusted to 46 mph at Hill City KS.   
       In 1988 Fair weather prevailed across much of the nation for   
               Election Day.  Midland TX equalled their record for   
               November with an afternoon high of 89 degrees, and the   
               record high of 87 degrees at Roswell NM was their fifth   
               in eight days.   
       In 1989 Afternoon and evening thunderstorms developing along and   
               ahead of a cold front produced severe weather from   
               northern Louisiana into central Georgia. Thunderstorms   
               spawned three tornadoes, and there were sixty-four   
               reports of large hail or damaging winds. A late   
               afternoon thunderstorm in central Georgia spawned   
               a tornado which killed one person and injured eight   
               others at Pineview. Late afternoon thunderstorms in   
               central Mississippi produced baseball size hail around   
               Jackson, and wind gusts to 70 mph at Walnut Grove.
