    In 1911 Snowless the first week of the month, Tamarack, California
            made up for lost time gathering 390" of snow, a US record
            month total.
    In 1949 The temperature at San Antonio TX plunged to a record low
            of one degree below zero.  Helena MT reached 42 degrees
            below zero.
    In 1949 A blizzard struck the northeastern U.S.  When the storm
            came to an end, twenty inches of snow covered the ground
            at Washington D.C.
    In 1982 A snowstorm struck Missouri, Illinois and Indiana.
            Twenty-five inches of snow at Greenville IL, located east
            of Saint Louis, paralyzed the community.  The storm left
            4000 motorists stranded for two days.
    In 1987 A storm in the Pacific Northwest produced wind gusts
            to 85 mph in Oregon, and nearly two inches of rain
            in twelve hours in the Puget Sound area of Washington
            State.  Ten inches of snow at Stampede Pass WA brought
            their total snow cover to 84 inches.
    In 1988 Thirty-one cities in the central and northeastern U.S.
            reported new record high temperatures for the date, with
            many occurring during the early morning hours.
            Temperatures in western New York State reached the 60s
            early in the day.  Strong northerly winds in the north
            central U.S. produced wind chill readings as cold as
            60 degrees below zero in North Dakota.
             The barometric pressure at Norway AK reached 31.85 inches
            (1078.4 mb) establishing an all-time record for the North
            American Continent.  The temperature at the time of the
            record was about 46 degrees below zero .  Severe arctic
            cold began to invade the north central U.S.  The
            temperature at Great Falls MT plunged 85 degrees in 36
            hours.  Valentine NE plummeted from a record high of
            70 degrees to zero in just nine hours.  Northwest winds
            gusted to 86 mph at Lander WY, and wind chill readings of
            80 degrees below zero were reported in Montana.  Sixty-
            four cities in the central U.S. reported record highs for
            the date as readings reached the the 60s in Michigan and
            the 80s in Kansas.
    In 1990 High winds in Montana on the 28th, gusting to 77 mph at
            Judith Gap, were followed by three days of snow.  Heavy
            snow fell over northwest Montana, with up to 24 inches
            reported in the mountains.  An avalanche covered the road
            near Essex with six feet of snow.  Snow and high winds
            also plagued parts of the southwestern U.S.  Winds gusted
            to 54 mph at Show Low AZ, and Flagstaff AZ was blanketed
            with eight inches of snow.
