       Weather data after 1990 is PARTIAL. For more current

       website at www.ncdc.noaa.gov   
       In 1892 Portland OR was buried under a record 27.5 inches of   
               snow.  (21st-24th)   
       In 1929 An exceptional storm produced snow from the Middle Rio   
               Grande Valley of Texas to southern Arkansas.  The storm   
               produced 26 inches of snow at Hillsboro TX, 18 inches at   
               El Dorado AR, and 14 inches at Bossier LA.  (21st-22nd)   
       In 1964 A great warm surge from the Pacific Ocean across Oregon   
               and northern California brought torrential rains on a   
               deep snow cover resulting in record floods.   
       In 1987 High winds continued along the eastern slopes of the   
               Rockies.  During the morning hours winds gusted to 64 mph   
               at Cheyenne WY, and reached 97 mph near Boulder CO.  Gale   
               force winds prevailed across the Great Lakes Region.   
       In 1988 Seven cities in the eastern U.S. reported record high   
               temperatures for the date, including Charleston SC with   
               a reading of 78 degrees.  A storm in the northwestern   
               U.S. produced 22 inches of snow at Idaho City ID in two   
               days, and up to two feet of snow at Happy Camp CA.  Ski   
               resorts in Idaho reported three to six feet of snow on   
               the ground.   
       In 1989 Forty cities in the north central U.S., thirteen in Iowa,   
               reported record low temperatures for the date.  Havre Mt   
               and Jordan MT tied for honors as the cold spot in the   
               nation with morning lows of 43 degrees below zero, and   
               the temperature remained close to 40 degrees below zero   
               through the daylight hours.  Dickinson ND reported a   
               morning low of 33 degrees below zero and a wind chill   
               reading of 86 degrees below zero.  The high for the date   
               of 16 degrees below zero at Sioux Falls SD was a December   
               record for that location.   
       In 2014 Lightning struck a car in the parking lot outside of   
               Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida, following an NFL   
               game. The force of the strike knocked people to the   
               ground, with a dozen injuries (one critical).
