    Today is Sunday  January 20, 2013.   
    This is the 20th day of the year, there are 345 days left.   
      
    On this day...   
       In 1937 The wettest Inaugural Day of record with 1.77 inches of rain   
               in 24 hours.  Temperatures were only in the 30s as Franklin   
               D. Roosevelt was sworm in for his second term.   
       In 1943 Strange vertical antics took place in the Black Hills of   
               South Dakota.  While the temperature at Deadwood was a   
               frigid 16 degrees below zero, the town of Lead, just a   
               mile and a half away, but 600 feet higher in elevation,   
               reported a balmy 52 degree reading.   
       In 1954 The temperature at Rogers Pass MT plunged to 70 degrees   
               below zero to establish a new record for the continental U.S.   
       In 1978 A paralyzing "Nor'easter" produced a record 21 inches of snow   
               at Boston, 15 to 20 inches in Rhode Island, and one to two   
               feet of snow in Pennsylvania.  Winds along the coast of   
               Connecticut gusted to 70 mph.   
       In 1982 (20th-21st) 17.3 inches snow on Minneapolis, Minnesota set   
               its single storm record, broken by the 19.9 inches which   
               fell on the 22nd-23rd!   
       In 1987 Gale force winds lingered along the northern Atlantic coast   
               in the wake of a holiday weekend storm.  High winds along   
               the eastern slopes of the Northern Rockies gusted to 67 mph   
               at Livingston MT, and high winds in southern California   
               gusted to 70 mph near San Bernardino.   
       In 1988 A storm in the Upper Midwest produced heavy snow and gale   
               force winds.  Up to 27.5 inches of snow was reported along   
               the Lake Superior shoreline of Michigan, with 22 inches at   
               Marquette.   
       In 1989 The temperature in the Washington D.C. area warmed into the   
               lower 50s for the Presidential Inauguration during the late   
               morning hours, before gusty northwest winds ushered in colder   
               air that afternoon.   
       In 1990 While heavy thunderstorm rains drenched the Central Gulf   
               Coast States, with 4.23 inches reported at Centreville AL   
               in 24 hours, unseasonably warm weather continued across   
               Florida.  Five cities in Florida reported record high   
               temperatures for the date.  Tampa FL equalled their record   
               high for January of 85 degrees.
