    Today is Monday  December 3, 2012.   
    This is the 338th day of the year, there are 28 days left.   
      
    On this day...   
       In 1856 A severe blizzard began to rage across Iowa and Kansas.   
               It produced as much as 16 inches of snow in Iowa.   
       In 1926 Yuma AZ was soaked with 1.10 inch of rain, and by the   
               10th of the month had received 4.43 inches, making it the   
               wettest December of record.  The average annual rainfall   
               for Yuma is 3.38 inches.  (3rd-10th)   
       In 1952 A remarkable display of sea smoke was seen in Hong Kong   
               harbor, where it poured from Kowloon Bay from 8 to 9:30 A.M.   
       In 1987 Stormy weather in the northwestern U.S. finally began to   
               abate, but not before Gold Beach OR was drenched with 7.94   
               inches of rain in 24 hours.  Low pressure spread snow   
               from the Upper Mississippi Valley to the Central   
               Appalachians.   
       In 1988 Gale force winds ushered cold air into the northeastern   
               U.S., and produced snow squals in the Lower Great Lakes   
               Region.  Winds gusted to 48 mph at Buffalo NY.   
       In 1989 Heavy snow and high winds created blizzard conditions in   
               northern New England.  Snowfall totals in Maine ranged up   
               to 31 inches, at Limestone.  Presque Isle ME reported a   
               record 30 inches of snow in 24 hours, along with wind   
               gusts to 46 mph.
