    Today is Thursday  November 29, 2012.   
    This is the 334th day of the year, there are 32 days left.   
      
    On this day...   
       In 1896 The mercury plunged to 51 degrees below zero at Havre MT.   
               It marked the culmination of a two week long cold wave   
               caused by a stagnant high pressure area similar to those   
               over Siberia during the winter.  During the month of   
               November temperatures across Montana and the Dakotas   
               averaged 15 to 25 degrees below normal.   
       In 1969 Dense fog along the Jersey Turnpike resulted in a chain   
               reaction of vehicle collisions during the morning rush   
               hour.  A propane truck jacknifed and was struck by a   
               trailor truck, and other vehicles piled into the fiery   
               mass.   
       In 1975 Red River NM was buried under 34 inches of snow in   
               24 hours, which established a state record.   
       In 1985 The temperature at Bismarck ND plunged to 30 degrees   
               below zero to establish their record low for the month of   
               November.  The high that day was 4 degrees below zero.   
       In 1987 Snow blanketed the Upper Mississippi Valley, with heavy   
               snow reported near Lake Superior.  Up to ten inches of   
               snow was reported in Douglas County and Bayfield County   
               of Wisconsin.  Brule WI received nine inches of snow.   
               Heavy rain soaked the Middle Atlantic Coast States, while   
               gale force winds lashed the coastline.  Flooding was   
               reported in Maryland and Virginia.   
       In 1988 Nine inches of snow at Alta UT brought their total for   
               the month to 164 inches, surpassing their previous   
               November record of 144 inches.  Snowbird UT, also in the   
               Little Cottonwood Valley, surpassed their November record   
               of 118 inches of snow.   
       In 1989 Strong Santa Ana wind diminished over southern   
               California, but record cold was reported in some of   
               the California valleys, with readings of 27 degrees   
               at Redding and 31 degrees at Bakersfield.  Gale force   
               winds, gusting to 44 mph at Milwuakee WI, produced snow   
               squalls in the Great Lakes Region.  Sault Ste Marie MI   
               finished the month of November with a record 46.8 inches   
               of snow.
