    Today is Wednesday  November 21, 2012.   
    This is the 326th day of the year, there are 40 days left.   
      
    On this day...   
       In 1798 A four day storm was in progress in the northeastern U.S.   
               The storm dropped a foot of snow on New York City and New   
               Haven, and as much as three feet in Maine and New   
               Hampshire.  The snowstorm ushered in a long and severe   
               winter, in some places the ground remained covered with   
               snow until the following May.   
       In 1967 Excessive rains in southern California caused the most   
               severe flooding and the most damaging mudslides in   
               33 years.  Downtown Los Angeles received eight inches of   
               rain, and 14 inches fell in the mountains.   
       In 1985 Hurricane Kate made landfall during the evening hours   
               near Mexico Beach FL.  Wind gusts to 100 mph were   
               reported at Cape San Blas FL.  It was the latest   
               known hurricane to hit the U.S. so far north.   
       In 1987 Squalls in the Lower Great Lakes Region and the Upper   
               Ohio Valley produced 14 inches of snow at Snowshoe WV,   
               and nearly eight inches at Syracuse NY.  Eleven cities in   
               the eastern U.S. reported record low temperatures for the   
               date.  Record lows included 21 at Pinson AL, 9 at   
               Syracuse NY, and 8 at Binghmaton NY.  Gale force winds   
               lashed the Middle and Northern Atlantic Coast, and the   
               strong northwesterly winds produced wind chill readings   
               as cold as 30 degrees below zero.  Winds gusting to 60   
               mph at Trumansburg NY toppled a chimney onto a nearby   
               truck.   
       In 1988 High winds accompanied rain and snow in the northeastern   
               U.S.  Caribou ME received eight inches of snow in six   
               hours, and Fort Kent ME was blanketed with a total of   
               fourteen inches of snow.   
       In 1989 The storm which produced thunderstorms and high winds in   
               the northeastern U.S. the previous day, produced snow and   
               high winds in New England, with blizzard conditions   
               reported in Maine.  Winds gusted to 55 mph at Boston MA,   
               and reached 58 mph at Augusta ME.  Hurricane force winds   
               were reported off the coast of Maine.  Snowfall totals   
               ranged up to 18 inches at Vanceboro ME, with 17 inches at   
               South Lincoln VT.  There were thirty-five storm-related   
               injuries in Maine.   
       In 2000 The Lake Effect Snow Machine was in full force across the   
               Great Lakes, with many cities receiving huge snow amounts.   
               Buffalo, NY got over 2 feet of snow.
