    Today is Friday  December 28, 2012.   
    This is the 363rd day of the year, there are 3 days left.   
      
    On this day...   
       In 1839 The third storm in two weeks hit the northeastern U.S.   
               It brought two more feet of snow to Hartford CT and   
               Worcester MA.  Whole gales swept the coast causing many   
               wrecks.   
       In 1897 The temperature at Dayville OR hit 81 degrees to   
               establish a state record for December.   
       In 1924 Iowa experienced its coldest December morning of record.   
               Morning lows averaged 25 degrees below zero for the   
               104 weather stations across the state.   
       In 1955 Anchorage AK was buried under 17.7 inches of snow in   
               24 hours, a record for that location.  (28th-29th)   
       In 1958 Albuquerque NM received 14.2 inches of snow to establish   
               a 24 hour record.  (28th-29th)   
       In 1987 A winter storm produced heavy snow in the Upper   
               Mississippi Valley and the Upper Great Lakes Region.  Up   
               to twenty inches of snow buried southern Minnesota, and   
               20 to 40 mph northwesterly winds produced snow drifts six   
               feet high, and reduced visibilities to near zero at times   
               in blowing snow.  There were a thousand traffic accidents   
               in Michigan during the storm, resulting in thirty-five   
               injuries.   
       In 1988 Strong winds behind a cold front claimed three lives   
               in eastern Pennsylvania, and injured a dozen others in   
               eastern Pennsylvania, southern New Jersey and Maryland.   
               Winds gusted to 87 mph at Hammonton NJ and in the   
               Washington D.C. area.   
       In 1989 Squalls continued to bring snow to the Great Lakes   
               Region, with heavy snow reported near Lake Superior and   
               Lake Ontario.  Syracuse NY received 8.5 inches of snow to   
               push the total for the month past their previous December   
               record of 57 inches.   
       In 2001 (28th-31st) Montague, NY got just under 10 feet of snow   
               (119 inches), from the Lake Effect Snow Machine.   
       In 2002 Another in a series of storms battered the west coast   
               from Washington south to California. Heavy rains at the   
               lower elevations, heavy snow at the higher elevations,   
               and strong winds were the rule. Some places in the higher   
               elevations had gusts well over 100 mph, the equivalent of   
               a category 2 hurricane (28th). The storm would produce   
               heavy rain and severe weather across the central and   
               southern plains into the southeast U.S. (29th-30th).
