    Today is Friday  January 11, 2013.   
    This is the 11th day of the year, there are 354 days left.   
      
    On this day...   
       In 1918 A tremendous blizzard completely immobilized the Midwest,   
               stopping mail service for two weeks.  The vast storm then   
               moved through the Great Lakes Region and the Ohio Valley.   
               Winds reached 60 mph at Toledo OH, and the temperature   
               plunged from 28 above to 15 below zero during passage of   
               the cold front.   
       In 1972 Downslope winds hit the eastern slopes of the Rockies in   
               northern Colorado and southeastern Wyoming.  Boulder CO   
               reported wind gusts to 143 mph and twenty-five million   
               dollars property damage.   
       In 1987 A storm in the northeastern U.S. buried the mountains of   
               central Vermont with up to 26 inches of snow, and snowfall   
               totals in Maine ranged up to 27 inches at Telos Lake.   
               Winds gusted to 45 mph at Newark NJ and Albany NY.   
       In 1988 High winds with snow produced a 50 car pile-up along   
               Interstate 15 in Utah. Winds gusted to 115 mph at   
               Rendezvous Peak, Wyoming.   
       In 1989 A cold front which the previous day produced 21 inches of   
               snow at Stampede Pass WA and wind gusts to 75 mph at   
               Mammoth Lakes CA, spread snow across Colorado.  Totals in   
               Colorado ranged up to 17 inches at Steamboat Springs.   
       In 1990 Strong northwesterly winds associated with a deep low   
               pressure system crossing the Upper Great Lakes Region   
               ushered cold air into the central U.S.  Winds gusted to   
               72 mph at Fort Dodge IA, and wind gusts reached 75 mph   
               at Yankton SD.  Snow and high winds created blizzard   
               conditions in northwestern Minnesota.  Squalls produced   
               heavy snow in parts of Upper Michigan and northern Lower   
               Michigan, with 16 inches reported at Wakefield.
