    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 1869 A post Christmas storm in New York and Vermont produced   
               record storm totals of 30 inches at Burlington VT, and 39   
               inches at Montpelier VT.  A public emergency is declared   
               in Vermont.   
       In 1892 An Atlantic coast storm produced a record 18.6 inches of   
               snow at Norfolk VA, including 17.7 inches in 24 hours.   
               The storm also produced 9.5 inches of snow at Raleigh NC,   
               and brought snow to northern Florida for the first time   
               in 35 years.  (26th-28th)   
       In 1978 The South Pole (Antarctica) celebrated its new highest   
               temperature, 7.5 degrees.   
       In 1982 The worst Louisiana rainstorm in more than 100 years came   
               to an end.  More than 18 inches fell at Vinton LA during   
               the three day storm.  Flooding was widespread, and   
               property damage was estimated at 100 to 200 million   
               dollars.  President Reagan visited the state and declared   
               ten parishes in northeastern Lousiana disaster areas.   
       In 1987 A winter storm produced snow and high winds in Wyoming,   
               Colorado and Nebraska.  Denver CO experienced its worst   
               snowstorm since December 1983 as high winds gusting to 46   
               mph created near blizzard conditions, whipping the   
               fifteen inch snow into drifts five feet high, and closing   
               Stapleton Airport.  Snowfall totals in the foothills   
               southwest of Denver ranged up to 42 inches   
               at Intercanyon.  Blizzard conditions raged across   
               southeastern Wyoming through the day, stranding   
               300 holiday travelers in the tiny town of Chugwater.   
               Heavier snowfall totals included 19 inches at La Grange   
               WY, and 22 inches at Elsmere NE.   
       In 1988 Severe thunderstorms developing along a cold front in the   
               south central U.S. spawned a dozen tornadoes in   
               Mississippi between early afternoon and sunrise the   
               following day.  A tornado at Harperville destroyed five   
               chicken homes killing thousands of chickens.  Strong   
               thunderstorm winds gusted to 80 mph at Rolling Fork MS.   
       In 1989 Half a dozen cities in the northeastern U.S. reported   
               record low temperatures for the date, including Elkins WV   
               with a reading of 13 degrees below zero.  Watertown NY   
               was the cold spot in the nation with a morning low of 37   
               degrees below zero.
