    Today is Sunday  October 11, 2015.   
    This is the 284th day of the year, there are 81 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 1906 Today's World Series game between the Cubs and White Sox saw   
               a high of 43 degrees, warming from the previous day's 32.   
       In 1925 Widespread early season snows fell in the northeastern   
               U.S., with as much as two feet in New Hampshire and   
               Vermont.  The heavy snow blocked roads and cancelled   
               football games.   
       In 1954 A deluge of 6.72 inches of rain in 48 hours flooded the   
               Chicago River, causing ten million dollars damage in the   
               Chicago area.  (9th-11th)   
       In 1987 More than thirty cities in the Upper Midwest reported   
               record low temperatures for the date, including Waterloo   
               IA and Scottsbluff NE where the mercury dipped to 16   
               degrees.  Tropical Storm Floyd brought heavy rain to   
               southern Florida, moisture from Hurricane Ramon produced   
               heavy rain in southern California, and heavy snow   
               blanketed the mountains of New York State and Vermont.   
       In 1988 Low pressure brought gale force winds to the Great Lakes   
               Region, with snow and sleet reported in some areas.   
               Unseasonably warm weather prevailed in the north central   
               U.S.  The mercury hit 84 degrees at Cutbank MT and   
               Worland WY.  The temperature at Gunnison CO soared from   
               a morning low of 12 degrees to a high of 66 degrees.   
       In 1989 Much of the nation enjoyed "Indian Summer" type weather.   
               Nine cities in the central U.S. reported record highs for   
               the date as temperatures warmed into the 80s and 90s.   
               Record highs included 90 degrees at Grand Island NE and   
               97 degrees at Waco TX.  Strong winds along a cold front   
               crossing the Northern High Plains Region gusted to 80 mph   
               at Ames Monument WY during the early morning.   
       In 2002 Tropical Depression Kyle finally dissipated after 3   
               weeks...being the third longest storm in the Atlantic   
               basin...behind Inga (1969) and Ginger (1971).
