    National Weatherperson's Day
    In 1887 Intense cold led to a train derailment over the White River
            at Hartford, Vermont, killing 34 people. San Francisco
            experienced its greatest snowstorm of record. Nearly four
            inches was reported in downtown San Francisco, and the
            western hills of the city received seven inches. Excited
            crowds went on a snowball throwing rampage.
    In 1987 Thunderstorms in the Southern Plains Region caused
            flooding in parts of south central Texas.  Del Rio TX was
            soaked with two inches of rain in two hours prior to
            sunrise.
    In 1988 Cold and snow invaded the southern U.S.  Roswell NM was
            buried under 16.5 inches of snow in 24 hours, an all-time
            record for that location.  Parts of the Central Gulf
            Coast Region reported their first significant snow
            in fifteen years.  Strong winds in Minnesota and the
            Dakotas produced wind chill readings as cold as
            75 degrees below zero. 
    In 1989 Severe cold gripped much of the nation.  Thirty cities
            reported new record low temperatures for the date.
            Morning lows of 9 above at Astoria OR and 27 below zero
            at Ely NV were records for February.  In Alaska,
            Point Barrow warmed to 24 degrees above zero, and Nome
            reached 30 degrees.
    In 1990 For the second time in two days, and the third time in a
            week, high winds plagued the northwestern U.S.  Winds in
            Oregon gusted to 60 mph at Cape Disappointment, and wind
            gusts in Washington State reached 67 mph at Bellingham.
            The first in a series of cold fronts began to produce
            heavy snow in the mountains of Washington and Oregon.
            Ten inches of snow fell at Timberline OR. 
    In 2004 A winter storm brought heavy snow to northern Arkansas,
            an icy mix across central Arkansas, and heavy rainfall
            across southern Arkansas. Thundersleet occurred across
            parts of central Arkansas, but the sleet melted quickly
            after a brief accumulation.
    In 2008 A moderate to high risk of severe thunderstorms and
            tornadoes covered Arkansas, with one EF-4 tornado being
            on the ground for a record 122 miles. Fourteen people
            died in the outbreak.
