    Today is Thursday  January 3, 2013.   
    This is the 3rd day of the year, there are 362 days left.   
      
    On this day...   
       In 1777 An overnight freeze enabled George Washington and his troops   
               to flank the British at Trenton, cross their lines at   
               Princeton, and seek security in the hills of northern   
               New Jersey.   
       In 1949 A tornado hit Warren in southern Arkansas, killing 57 people.   
               Several other tornadoes were noted across the state that day.   
       In 1961 A three day long icestorm was in progress over northern Idaho   
               which produced an accumulation of ice eight inches thick,   
               a U.S. record.  Heavy fog, which blanketed much of northern   
               Idaho from Grangeville to the Canadian border, deposited the   
               ice on power and phone lines causing widespread power outages.   
       In 1988 After a day of rest, "Old Man Winter" came back as a triple   
               threat, hitting both coasts with winter storms, and blasting   
               the central U.S. with cold arctic air.  Snow and ice in the   
               eastern U.S. caused 4.5 million dollars damage to homes and   
               vehicles in North Carolina, the storm in the western U.S.   
               produced two feet of snow in the Lake Tahoe area of Nevada,   
               and temperatures in North Dakota plunged to 30 degrees below   
               zero, with wind chill readings as cold as 95 degrees below   
               zero.   
       In 1994 A heavy wet snow blanketed much of the state of Ohio, with   
               12 to 18 inches reported in counties along the Ohio River.   
               Newport received 21 inches.  Thunder and lightning   
               accompanied the snow, with five inches reported in Washington   
               County and Noble County between 7 AM and 8 AM Tuesday.  Parts   
               of Washington County were without electricity for eight days   
               following the storm.   
       In 2001 (3rd-5th) An unusual southern winter storm brought snow to   
               many areas from Texas, to Alabama, to Georgia, to the Carolinas,   
               and on up into the northeast United States. Many flights were   
               cancelled at Atlanta's Hartsfield Airport, with many roads shut   
               down due to the wintry weather.
