 Today is Monday  January 23, 2017.
 This is the 23rd day of the year, there are 342 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 1780 The coldest day of the coldest month of record in the
            northeastern U.S.  A British Army thermometer in New York
            City registered a reading of 16 degrees below zero.
            During that infamous hard winter the harbor was frozen
            solid for five weeks, and the port was cut off from sea
            supply.
    In 1943 (23rd-24th) A 24-hour precipitation record was set for
            California when Hoegees Camp (in the San Gabriel Mountains)
            measured 26.12".
    In 1971 The temperature at Prospect Creek AK plunged to 80 degrees
            below zero, the coldest reading of record for the United
            States.
    In 1987 Strong winds ushered bitterly cold air into the north
            central U.S., and produced snow squalls in the Great Lakes
            Region. Snowfall totals in northwest Lower Michigan ranged
            up to 17 inches in Leelanau County.  Wind chill temperatures
            reached 70 degrees below zero at Sault Ste Marie MI and
            Hibbing MN.
    In 1988 Northeastern Colorado experienced its most severe windstorm
            in years.  A wind gust to 92 mph was recorded at Boulder CO
            before the anenometer blew away, and in the mountains, a
            wind gust to 120 mph was reported at Mines Peak.  The high
            winds blew down a partially constructed viaduct east of
            Boulder, as nine unanchored concrete girders, each weighing
            forty-five tons, were blown off their supports.
    In 1989 Low pressure brought heavy snow to Wyoming, with 18 inches
            reported at the Shoshone National Forest, and 17 inches in
            the Yellowstone Park area.  Gunnison CO, with a low of 19
            degrees below zero, was the cold spot in the nation for
            the twelfth day in a row.
    In 1990 A Pacific cold front brought strong and gusty winds to the
            northwestern U.S.  Winds in southeastern Idaho gusted to 62
            mph at Burley.  Strong winds also prevailed along the
            eastern slopes of the northern and central Rockies.  Winds
            in Wyoming gusted to 74 mph in Goshen County.
