    Today is Monday  January 14, 2013.   
    This is the 14th day of the year, there are 351 days left.   
      
    On this day...   
       In 1863 The greatest snowstorm of record for Cincinnati OH began,   
               and a day later twenty inches of snow covered the ground.   
               That total has remained far above the modern day record   
               for Cincinnati of eleven inches of snow in one storm.   
       In 1882 Southern California's greatest snow occurred on this date.   
               Fifteen inches blanketed San Bernardino, and even San Diego   
               reported a trace of snow.   
       In 1979 Chicago IL was in the midst of their second heaviest snow of   
               record as, in thirty hours, the city was buried under 20.7   
               inches of snow.  The twenty-nine inch snow cover following   
               the storm was an all-time record for Chicago.   
       In 1987 Arctic cold invaded the north central U.S.  By evening   
               blustery northwest winds and temperatures near zero at   
               Grand Forks ND were producing wind chill readings of 50   
               degrees below zero.   
       In 1988 A powerful Pacific storm produced rain and high winds in   
               the western U.S.  In Nevada, a wind gust to 90 mph at Reno   
               was an all-time record for that location, and wind gusts   
               reached 106 mph southwest of Reno.  A wind gust to 94 mph   
               was recorded at nearby Windy Hill.  Rainfall totals in   
               Oregon ranged up to six inches at Wilson River.   
       In 1989 A winter storm spread snow and sleet and freezing rain from   
               the Middle Mississippi Valley to the northeastern U.S.   
               Freezing rain in West Virginia caused fifteen traffic   
               accidents in just a few minutes west of Charleston.   
               Tennessee was deluged with up to 7.5 inches of rain.   
               Two inches of rain near Clarksville TN left water in the   
               streets as high as car doors.   
       In 1990 A winter storm in the southwestern U.S. blanketed the   
               mountains of southwest Utah with 18 to 24 inches of snow,   
               while sunshine and strong southerly winds helped   
               temperatures warm into the 60s in the Central Plains Region.   
               Five cities reported record high temperatures for the date,   
               including North Platte NE with a reading of 63 degrees.   
       In 2002 Seven inches of snow fell in Saudi Arabia...which was hit   
               days before by thunderstorms and flooding rains.   
       In 2003 (13th-14th) Tropical Cyclone Ami hit Northern Fiji in the   
               southern Pacific, with winds to 125 mph, gusting to 155   
               mph (equivalent to a category 3 hurricane). It was the   
               worst storm to hit the area since 1987.
