    On this day...   
       In 1953 A severe icestorm in the northeastern U.S. produced up to   
               four inches of ice in Pennsylvania, and two to three inches   
               in southeastern New York State.  In southern New England the   
               ice coated a layer of snow up to 20 inches deep.  The storm   
               resulted in 31 deaths and 2.5 million dollars damage.   
       In 1973 A severe icestorm struck Atlanta GA.  The storm paralyzed the   
               city closing schools and businesses, and damage from the   
               storm was estimated at 25 million dollars. One to four inches   
               of ice coated northern Georgia leaving 300,000 persons   
               without electricity for up to a week.  Between 7 PM and 9 PM   
               on the 7th, 2.27 inches (liquid content) of freezing rain,   
               sleet and snow coated Atlanta, as the temperature hovered at   
               32 degrees.  (7th-8th)   
       In 1987 A winter storm moving out of the Southern Rockies into the   
               Central Plains Region produced 14 inches of snow at Red River   
               NM, and 17 inches in the Wolf Creek ski area of Colorado.   
               Wichita KS was blanketed with seven inches of snow.   
       In 1988 A winter storm spread heavy snow across the northeastern   
               U.S.,with up to ten inches reported in southern New Jersey.   
       In 1989 Strong northwesterly winds and bitterly cold temperatures   
               prevailed in the north central U.S.  Winds in the Great Lakes   
               Region gusted to 58 mph at Chicago IL, and reached 63 mph at   
               Niagara Falls NY.  Squalls in western New York State produced   
               20 inches of snow at Barnes Corners and Lowville. Snow   
               squalls in Upper Michigan produced 26 inches around Keweenaw.   
       In 1990 High winds plagued the northwestern U.S., with the state of   
               Oregon hardest hit.  Two persons were killed in Oregon, and   
               nine others were injured, and the high winds downed 55   
               million board feet of timber, valued at more than twenty   
               million dollars. Winds gusted to 90 mph near Pinehurst ID,   
               and wind gusts reached 96 mph at Stevenson WA.   
       In 2001 It was warmer in Rapid City, South Dakota (record high of 76   
               degrees) than in Miami, Florida (afternoon high was only 61   
               degrees).
