    Today is Tuesday  January 15, 2013.   
    This is the 15th day of the year, there are 350 days left.   
      
    On this day...   
       In 1852 Between January 15th and February 24th a total of 1378   
               railroad cars were drawn by horses across the frozen   
               Susquehanna River to engines waiting at Havre De Grace MD.   
       In 1932 Up to two inches of snow whitened the Los Angeles basin of   
               California.  The Los Angeles Civic Center reported an inch   
               of snow, and even the beaches of Santa Monica were whitened   
               with snow, in what proved to be a record snowstorm for Los   
               Angeles.   
       In 1952 A six day snowstorm was in progress in the western U.S.   
               The storm produced 44 inches of snow at Marlette Lake NV,   
               52 inches at Sun Valley ID, and 149 inches at Tahoe CA,   
               establishing single storm records for each of those three   
               states.  In addition, 24 hour snowfall totals of 22 inches   
               at the University of Nevada, and 26 inches at Arco ID,   
               established records for those two states. The streamliner,   
               'City of San Francisco' was snowbound in the Sierra Nevada   
               Range, near Donner Summit.   
       In 1987 A powerful storm over the Southern Plateau and the Southern   
               Rockies produced 24 inches of snow at Colorado Springs CO,   
               including 22 inches in 24 hours, a January record.  High   
               winds in the southwestern U.S. gusted to 65 mph in the   
               Yosemite Valley of California.   
       In 1988 A small storm over the Atlantic Ocean produced heavy snow   
               along the coast of North Carolina.  The five inch total at   
               Wilmington NC was their third highest for any storm in   
               January in 117 years of records.   
       In 1989 A storm in the northwestern U.S. produced up to 14 inches   
               of snow in the Cascade Mountain Range.  Light snow in the   
               north central U.S. was just enough to push the snowfall   
               total for January at Fargo ND past their previous all-time   
               monthly record of 30.7 inches.   
       In 1990 While one Pacific storm crossed the Central Rockies, another   
               approached the west coast.  The northern mountains of Utah   
               were buried under 17 to 35 inches of snow while the mountains   
               of southern Utah received another 12 to 16 inches.  Eighteen   
               cities in the central U.S. reported record high temperatures   
               for the date as readings warmed into the 50s and 60s.   
               Wichita KS reported a record high of 68 degrees.
