 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.
