    Today is Wednesday  December 5, 2012.   
    This is the 340th day of the year, there are 26 days left.   
      
    On this day...   
       In 1886 A big snowstorm in the southeastern U.S. produced   
               11 inches at Montgomery AL, 18.5 inches at Rome GA,   
               and 22.5 inches at Knoxville TN.   
       In 1941 The temperature at Enosburg Falls VT soared to 72 degrees   
               to establish a state record for the month of December.   
       In 1953 A killer tornado hit Vicksburg MS killing 38 persons,   
               injuring 270 others, and causing 25 million dollars   
               damage, the most damage since the forty-seven days of   
               continuous shelling the town received in the Civil War.   
       In 1968 (5th-6th) High surf from a storm near Alaska swept rocks   
               and sea water into pavilions at Onekahakaha Beach near   
               Hilo, Hawaii.   
       In 1987 Heavy snow blanketed parts of the north central U.S., and   
               freezing drizzle produced a coat of ice up to half an   
               inch thick in northwestern Minnesota and eastern North   
               Dakota.  Snowfall totals ranged up to seven inches at   
               Grand Rapids MN, and 12 inches at Seney MI.  High winds   
               in the north central U.S. gusted to 63 mph at Pellston   
               MI, and reached 70 mph at Makinaw Bridge MI.   
       In 1988 There was only a "flurry" of activity, as for much of the   
               nation winter remained on hold.  The cold and snow of   
               winter was primarily confined to the northeastern U.S.   
               Five cities in the north central U.S. reported record   
               high temperatures for the date, including Norfolk NE with   
               a reading of 65 degrees.   
       In 1989 A warm Pacific storm system brought high winds and heavy   
               rain to western Washington and western Oregon.  Up to ten   
               inches of rain deluged the western slopes of the Cascade   
               Mountain Range in Washington State over a three day   
               period, and 500 persons had to be evacuated due to   
               flooding along the Skagit River.  Up to five inches of   
               rain drenched northwest Oregon, and winds gusted to 71   
               mph at Netarts.
