    In 1977 Snowflakes were observed at Homestead and Miami Beach in
            extreme southern Florida...the first time snow fell there
            since weather records were kept. Just north of Miami in
            Carol City, 3 inches of snow was measured.
    In 1987 A storm tracking toward the northeastern U.S. produced up to
            14 inches of snow in northern Indiana.  Peru IN reported a

            January.
    In 1988 A powerful storm hit the central U.S. producing blizzard

            fourteen years.
    In 1990 Thunderstorms produced large hail and damaging winds in
            eastern Texas and Louisiana.  Tornadoes at Garland TX and
