    Today is Wednesday  December 30, 2015.   
    This is the 364th day of the year, there are 1 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 1880 The temperature at Charlotte NC plunged to an all-time   
               record cold readings of 5 degrees below zero, a record   
               which was equalled on the 21st of January in 1985.   
       In 1917 A great cold wave set many records in the northeastern   
               U.S.  The mercury plunged to 13 degrees below zero at New   
               York City, and to 15 below at Boston.  Temperature   
               readings dipped below zero at Boston five nights in a   
               row.  Berlin NH hit 44 degrees below zero in the "Great   
               World War I Cold Wave", and Saint Johnsbury VT reached 43   
               degrees below zero.   
       In 1933 The temperature reached 50 degrees below zero at   
               Bloomfield VT.  It was the coldest reading in modern   
               records for New England.  The temperature at Pittsburgh   
               NH reached 44 degrees below zero.   
       In 1955 Anchorage AK reported an all-time record snow depth of   
               47 inches.  (30th-1st)   
       In 1972 The ship Weather Reporter in the Atlantic Ocean measured an   
               86 foot high wave, the world's highest measured wave.   
       In 1987 A storm in the western U.S. produced heavy snow in Utah,   
               with 28 inches reported in the Mount Holly and Elk   
               Meadows area.  Strong winds prevailed ahead of a cold   
               front in the central U.S.  Winds gusted to 46 mph at   
               Dodge City KS, and reached 80 mph at Ruidoso NM.  Strong   
               northerly winds, ushering arctic cold into the north   
               central U.S., created blizzard conditions in  western   
               Minnesota and central and eastern South Dakota.   
       In 1988 Unseasonably cold weather prevailed in the southwestern   
               U.S.  A week of subfreezing temperatures in southern   
               California claimed the lives of five people.  Redding CA   
               was blanketed with four inches of snow.   
       In 1989 Extreme cold continued across northern Maine.  Milo ME   
               was the cold spot in the nation with a morning low of 38   
               degrees below zero, and the low of 31 degrees below zero   
               at Caribou ME was a December record for that location.   
               Freezing rain spread across much of Lower Michigan,   
               knocking out electrical power to 1.9 million customers in   
               southeastern Lower Michigan.
