    Today is Thursday  November 22, 2012.   
    This is the 327th day of the year, there are 39 days left.   
      
    On this day...   
       In 1641 An observer at Boston MA recorded a "great tempest of   
               wind and rain from the southeast all night, as fierce as   
               a hurricane, and thereupon followed the highest tide   
               which we have seen since our arrival here".   
       In 1957 Extremely destructive Santa Ana winds blew from Oxnard to   
               San Diego and inland parts of southern California.  The   
               high winds produced a 28,000 acre brush fire on a 40-mile   
               front west of Crystal Lake.  People were ordered off   
               streets in some areas due to flying debris.  (21st-22nd)   
       In 1987 Eight cities in the eastern U.S. reported record low   
               temperatures for the date.  Elkins WV, reported a low of   
               5 degrees above zero.  Gale force winds continued along   
               the Northern Atlantic Coast.   
       In 1988 Wet and windy weather prevailed across the western U.S.,   
               with heavy snow in some of the higher elevations.  Winds   
               gusted to 62 mph at Vedauwoo WY, and reached 75 mph at   
               Tillamook OR.  Shelter Cove CA was drenched with 4.37   
               inches of rain in 24 hours.   
       In 1989 Strong northerly winds produced squalls along the shore   
               of Lake Michigan, with heavy snow in extreme southeast   
               Wisconsin.  Milwaukee WI received nine inches of snow,   
               and in Racine County there were more than one hundred   
               automobile accidents.   
       In 2011 Hurricane Mitch became the strongest late season    
               hurricane in the Eastern Pacific basin, as a category   
               4 storm with 145 mph winds...although it was no threat   
               to land.
