    Today is Monday  January 7, 2013.   
    This is the 7th day of the year, there are 358 days left.   
      
    On this day...   
       In 1873 A blizzard raged across the Great Plains.  Many pioneers,   
               unprepared for the cold and snow, perished in southwest   
               Minnesota and northwestern Iowa.   
       In 1971 The temperature at Hawley Lake, located southeast of McNary   
               AZ, plunged to 40 degrees below zero to establish a state   
               record.   
       In 1987 A storm in the southwestern U.S. produced 30 inches of snow   
               north of Zion National Park in southern Utah, with 18 inches   
               reported at Cedar Canyon UT.   
       In 1988 A winter storm in the southeastern U.S. produced 27 inches   
               of snow in the Bad Creek area of South Carolina, and claimed   
               the lives of two million chickens in Alabama.   
       In 1989 A tornado in southern Illinois obliterated half the community   
               of Allendale, injuring fifty perons and causing more than   
               five million dollars damage, while thunderstorm winds gusting   
               higher than 100 mph caused ten million dollars damage at   
               Franklin KY. Twenty-five cities, from the Gulf coast to   
               Michigan, reported record high temperatures for the date.   
       In 1990 A rapidly intensifying low pressure system and a vigorous   
               cold front brought heavy rain and high winds to the Pacific   
               Northwest. Two to five inch rains soaked western Washington   
               and western Oregon, and winds gusting above 70 mph caused   
               extensive damage. Wind gusts on Rattlesnake Ridge in   
               Washington State reached 130 mph.
