       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 1915 A heavy snowstorm kicked off the snowiest winter   
               in modern records for western New England.   
               A severe Florida freeze occurred.  Morning lows   
               reached 35 degrees at Miami, 18 at Tampa, and 12 at   
               Jacksonville.  It was the coldest December weather of the   
               20th century and caused millions of dollars damage to   
               crops and foliage.  In Georgia, the morning low of   
               9 degrees below zero at Blairsville established a state   
               record for the month of December.   
       In 1987 A major winter storm produced high winds and heavy snow   
               in the Southern Rockies and the Southern High Plains.   
               Snowfall totals in New Mexico ranged up to 25 inches at   
               Cedar Crest, with up to three feet of snow reported in   
               the higher elevations.  Winds of 75 mph, with gusts to   
               124 mph, were reported northeast of Albuquerque NM.   
               El Paso TX was buried under 22.4 inches of snow,   
               including a single storm record of 16.8 inches in   
               24 hours.  The snowfall total surpassed their previous   
               record for an entire winter season of 18.4 inches.   
               Record cold was experienced the next three nights as   
               readings dipped into the single numbers.  High winds   
               ushering unseasonably cold air into the southwestern U.S.   
               gusted to 100 mph at Grapevine CA.   
       In 1988 Low pressure off the Atlantic coast produced up to a foot   
               of snow in eastern Nassau County and western Suffolk   
               County of southeastern New York State.  Mild weather   
               prevailed across the western half of the country.  Nine   
               cities reported record high temperatures for the date,   
               including Goodland KS with a reading of 74 degrees.   
       In 1989 Strong northwesterly winds, ushering bitterly cold arctic   
               air into the central U.S., produced squalls with heavy   
               snow in the Great Lakes Region.  Snowfall totals in Upper   
               Michigan ranged up to 24 inches at Manistique.  Nine   
               cities in Arkansas and Texas reported record low   
               temperatures for the date, including Calico Rock AR with   
               a reading of 4 degrees above zero.
