    website at www.ncdc.noaa.gov
    In 1846 A great storm hit Virginia and the Carolinas.  The
            storm caused half a million dollars damage, and in
            North Carolina drowned fifty families and a thousand
            cattle on Notts Island.
    In 1927 Raleigh NC was buried under 17.8 inches of snow in
            24 hours, a record for that location.  Nashville NC
            received 31 inches of snow.  The average snow depth in
            the state of Carolina was 14 inches.
    In 1975 The "Governor's Tornado" in Atlanta did considerable
            damage to the governor's mansion and surrounding areas
            resulting in three deaths and 56.5 million dollars
            damage.
    In 1985 A massive winter storm struck the Northern Plains
            Region.  The storm produced up to 33 inches of snow in
            northeastern South Dakota, at Summit and at Milbank,
            and also produced high winds which whipped the heavy
            snow into drifts twenty feet high.
    In 1987 A storm in the northeastern U.S. produced heavy snow in
            Maine, with 16 inches reported at West Grand Lake and
            Guilford.
    In 1988 Thunderstorms produced severe weather in the south
            central U.S.  A tornado at Baton Rouge LA injured
            two persons, and another tornado caused five million
            dollars damage at the airport in Lafayette LA.
    In 1989 Snow and high winds plagued the western U.S.  Up to
            16 inches of snow was reported south of Seattle WA, and
            more than two feet of snow blanketed the Sierra Nevada
            Range of California.  Winds gusted to 89 mph at Hidden
            Peak UT, and reached 92 mph at Peavine CA.
    In 1990 Mild weather continued across the northern tier of
            states.  Highs of 52 degrees at Saint Johnsbury VT,
            63 degrees at Olympia WA, and 64 degrees at Seattle WA
            were records for the date.
    In 2012 A massive tornado outbreak affected many areas east of
            the Mississippi River, affecting areas from Mississippi
            and Alabama, north to Indiana and Ohio. The Henryville
            Indiana High School, and much of the town, was flattened
            by an EF-4 tornado. Damage was widespread, along with
            many reports of injuries and fatalities. There were 742
            total severe weather reports; 95 of them were tornadoes.
    In 2012 The Ohio and Tennessee Valleys were hit by a tornado
            outbreak, which also affected parts of the southeast
            United States...with at least 40 fatalities due to the
            tornadoes. An EF3 tornado roared through West Liberty,
            Kentucky, killing 11...and an EF4 tornado blasted
            Henryville, Indiana, killing 10.
