    Today is Tuesday  November 20, 2012.   
    This is the 325th day of the year, there are 41 days left.   
      
    On this day...   
       In 1869 A second great windstorm in three days struck Vermont and   
               New York blowing railroad trains off their tracks.   
       In 1900 An unusual tornado outbreak in the Lower Mississippi   
               Valley resulted in 73 deaths and extensive damage across   
               Arkansas, Mississippi and Tennessee.   
       In 1914 The high temperature of 28 degrees at Atlanta GA was   
               their earliest daily high below the freezing mark.   
       In 1979 A blizzard struck Cheyenne WY producing a record   
               19.8 inches of snow in 24 hours, and a record total of   
               25.6 inches, in 40 hours.  Strong winds created huge   
               drifts stopping all transportation.  (19th-21st)   
       In 1981 At Atlanta's Hartsfield International Airport, a weak tornado   
               tore an engine off a taxiing DC-8.   
       In 1987 Blustery northwest winds created snow squalls in the   
               Great Lakes Region and the Upper Ohio Valley.  Snowfall   
               totals in Upper Michigan ranged up to 18 inches at   
               Paradise.  Lake City MI received 9.5 inches of snow in   
               four and a half hours.  Up to a foot of snow blanketed   
               Oswego County in western New York State.  Strong winds   
               produced wind chill readings as cold as 22 degrees below   
               zero at Duluth MN.   
       In 1988 Thunderstorms developing ahead of a fast moving cold   
               front produced severe weather in the Upper Ohio Valley   
               and the Middle Atlantic Coast Region during the afternoon   
               and early evening.  Thunderstorm winds gusted to 69 mph   
               at Kennedy Airport in New York City, and winds along the   
               cold front itself gusted to 56 mph at Cincinnati OH.  The   
               same storm produced snow in Kansas, Missouri and   
               Illinois, with eight inches reported at Rolla MO.   
       In 1989 Low pressure brought thunderstorms and high winds to the   
               northeastern U.S.  There were 193 reports of damaging   
               winds with thunderstorms in New York State, Pennsylvania   
               and New Jersey.  Tornadoes touched down near Seaside Park   
               NJ and McAlevys Port PA.  Winds with thunderstorms gusted   
               to 92 mph at Poughkeepsie NY, and reached 94 mph at   
               Newburgh NY.  High winds in the Washington D.C. area,   
               gusting to 73 mph, resulted in one death.
