 Today is Monday  March 7, 2016.
 This is the 67th day of the year, there are 299 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 1717 The "Great Snow", a composite of four storms to hit the
            eastern U.S. in nine days, finally came to an end.
            Snow depths averaged 60 inches following the storm.
            Up to four feet of snow fell around Boston MA, and snow
            drifts 25 feet high were reported around Dorchester MA.
    In 1932 A severe coastal storm set barometric pressure records
            from Virginia to New England.  Block Island RI reported
            a barometric pressure reading of 28.20 inches.
    In 1987 Forty-five cities in the north central and northeastern
            U.S. reported record high temperatures for the date.
            Huron SD hit 80 degrees, and Pickstown SD reached
            81 degrees.  Rochester MN and Rockford IL smashed their
            previous record for the date by 16 degrees.
    In 1988 High winds along a sharp cold front ushered snow and
            arctic cold into the Central Rocky Mountain Region and
            the Northern Plains.  Snowfall totals in Utah ranged up
            to 16 inches at Brighton.  Winds gusted to 66 mph at
            Rapid City SD.
    In 1989 Blustery northwest winds ushered arctic cold into the
            northeastern U.S.  Burlington VT reported a record low of
            14 degrees below zero.  Snow and ice over the Carolinas
            replaced the 80 degree weather of the previous day.
            High winds and heavy surf caused five million dollars
            damage along the North Carolina coast.
    In 1990 A major ice storm left much of Iowa under a thick coat
            of ice.  It was the worst ice storm in at least 25 years
            for Iowa, perhaps the worst of the century. Up to 2
            inches of ice coated much of western and central
            Iowa, with three inches reported in Crawford County
            and Carroll County.  As much as five inches of ice
            was reported on some electrical lines.  The ice downed
            78 towers in a 17-mile stretch of a high voltage feeder
            near Boone costing three electric utilities 15 million
            dollars.  Damage to trees was incredible, and cleanup
            costs alone ran into the millions.  Total damage from
            the storm was more than 50 million dollars.
