    Today is Tuesday  October 6, 2015.   
    This is the 279th day of the year, there are 86 days left.   
      
    On this day...   
       Weather data after 1990 is PARTIAL. For more current   
       weather history, go to the National Climate Data Center   
       website at www.ncdc.noaa.gov   
       In 1836 A second early season snowstorm produced eleven inches at   
               Wilkes Barre PA and 26 inches at Auburn NY.  All the   
               mountains in the northeastern U.S. were whitened with   
               snow.   
       In 1981 A Fokker F-28 aircraft crashed in Holland after its starboard   
               wing was ripped away by a funnel cloud.   
       In 1984 The temperature at Honolulu, Hawaii, reached 94 degrees   
               to establish an all-time record at that location.   
       In 1985 A tropical wave, later to become Tropical Storm Isabel   
               struck Puerto Rico.  As much as 24 inches of rain fell in   
               24 hours, and the severe flooding and numerous landslides   
               resulting from the rain claimed about 180 lives.   
       In 1987 The western U.S. continued to sizzle.  Afternoon highs of   
               85 at Astoria OR, 101 at Tucson AZ, and 102 at Sacramento   
               CA, equalled October records.  It marked the fourth time   
               in the month that Sacramento had tied their record for   
               October.   
       In 1988 Cool Canadian air prevailed across the central and   
               eastern U.S.  Toledo OH reported a record low of   
               27 degrees.  Limestone ME received an inch of snow.  Warm   
               weather continued in the western U.S.  Boise ID reported   
               a record high of 87 degrees.   
       In 1989 Temperatures soared into the 90s across southern Texas.   
               Afternoon highs of 93 at Houston, and 96 at Austin and   
               Corpus Christi, were records for the date.  Beeville was   
               the hot spot in the nation with an afternoon high of 101   
               degrees.
